Reacting to the sad news in a chat with Vanguard, Pete Edochie described Kambilichukwu as a brilliant, unusual child who excelled in everything.
The grandfather said that it was unfortunate that his grandson died while he had shown great promise.
“Kambilinachukwu is a very quiet, brilliant and talented child. He’s not somebody you can ride easily. He doesn’t get angry no matter the situation.
He may change his composure, but he was definitely a very unusual person in so many respects.
“He was so accomplished. I always tell my son that I don’t like people excelling like this in any thing they are involved in. Experience has taught me that such people don’t last long.” He said.
