A Ugandan man simply identified as Simon recently sent the internet buzzing after claiming veteran Nigerian actor, Pete Edochie might be his biological father.
He appealed to the Nollywood legend in a viral video on social media to come and claim him, adding that he was suffering in Uganda.
According to Simon, his mother came to Nigeria in 1984 to work as a maid and returned to Uganda with his pregnancy.

The distressed man went on to say he was unable to meet his biological father before his mother’s demise.
He, however, added that many people have noted the striking resemblance between him and the respected veteran thespian.
The Ugandan proceeded to passionately appeal to Edochie to come forward if he is truly his biological father.
“I’m from Kampala, Uganda. My mother told me in 1984, she went to Nigeria and worked as a housemaid, and came back to Uganda when she was pregnant. She gave birth to a son and that’s me.
“Up till now, I haven’t had the chance of meeting my biological father. Many people that come to me tell me that I resemble Pete Edochie. Sir Pete Edochie my mother died but you are still alive, if you are still there, and you know you are my father please come for your son. I am struggling, life isn’t good in Kampala, Ugandan,” Simon wrote.
