Buchi communicated this development through an official statement published on his personal Instagram profile, detailing the heavy toll the incident has taken on his psychological well-being. He characterized the accusation as entirely false and profoundly malicious, noting that the resulting emotional turbulence pushed him into a severe mental health crisis that culminated in a formal nervous breakdown. According to Buchi, the physical and psychological toll of the ordeal has been officially evaluated and documented by his general practitioner in the UK.

Furthermore, because Peller is currently residing in the United Kingdom—having traveled there alongside his partner, Jarvis, to celebrate their honeymoon following their wedding—Buchi escalated the dispute beyond social media by notifying the Metropolitan Police. In his shared statement, Buchi emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating that the damaging rumors directly compromised his mental health and necessitated both medical documentation and formal law enforcement intervention.

Edochie’s bold statements came during an appearance on comedian Isbae U’s online show, Curiosity Made Me Ask, where he was asked to name his favorite actor. Brushing the question aside, the legendary thespian stated that he could not choose because he considers himself superior to all of them. He also addressed past claims by fellow actor Yemi Solade, who had argued that despite Edochie’s age, he actually entered the acting industry first. Edochie noted that he has always ignored such claims and opted to throw down a direct challenge: “Whoever said they are of the same level with me should come out and say it.”

Reflecting on being frequently described as a legend, Edochie admitted he does not fully know the definition of the title, though he deeply appreciates the widespread celebration. He also shared background on his career path before Nollywood, revealing that he was already professionally established outside the screen and eventually retired as a Director of Programmes.

Reflecting on her appearance in the circulated footage, the actress pointed out that her physical demeanor clearly displayed deep discomfort and intense stress throughout the event. Furthermore, Oluebube claimed that she is currently facing severe blackmail, hinting that she intends to unmask and expose the individuals orchestrating the intimidation when the appropriate time comes. While she withheld specific names and refrained from providing comprehensive details regarding the exact nature of the forces compelling her, she earnestly appealed to her supporters and the public to offer their prayers and support during this difficult period.
