Former Big Brother Naija star, Pere Egbi, has shared his thoughts on the impact of cyberbullying.
The reality TV star revealed that a friend of his recently took their own life due to online harassment. Pere made the disclosure on his X account on Monday, though he did not clarify whether the tragic event occurred in Nigeria or in the United States, where he currently resides.
He wrote, “I lost a friend today due to online bullying. Committed suicide. Smh. RIP champ. It is well.”

Pere has appeared in and produced several Nollywood and international films, including Gem of the Rain Forest, Pound of Flesh, and Blood Vessel.
