Yul Edochie Finally Breaks Silence On His Son’s Death, Shares His Last Moments

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has finally broken his silence over the death of his 16-year-old first son, Kambilichukwu.

KanyiDaily recalls that on March 29, Kambilichukwu collapsed while playing football with his friends in school, and was rushed to Mother and Child Hospital in Lagos, where he was confirmed dead.

Speaking for the first time via his Instagram page on Thursday night, April 28, Yul Edochie said his late son made his mark despite that he lived for 16 years.

The actor, who noted that he can’t question God, recounted his son’s last moments on earth and paid tribute to him saying he is a “cheerful and loving soul”.

He wrote, “On that Wednesday morning, you came into my room dressed up for school. You told me your school will be having inter-house sports on Friday and I promised you I’ll be there. You were so excited.

“You told me you won a gold medal in swimming. I congratulated you. We joked about your height, then you left for school in your ever-cheerful manner.

“And you never came back home again. I can’t question God. My dear son, just 16 years with us here on earth but you made your mark.

“Great son. Calm, cute, brilliant, always cheerful, outstanding footballer, gentle and loving soul. You’re an angel.

“We miss you. We love you, Kambi. Daddy loves you. But God loves you more. Rest well, son. Till we meet again. Rest in heaven with God. My dear son Kambi Yul-Edochie. Kambi yoooooo!”
