Yul Edochie, a popular Nollywood actor, is said to have filed a complaint against his late son’s school, alleging negligence that may have contributed to his son’s untimely death.
According to reports, the bereaved father reported his first son’s death, Kambilichukwu Edochie, to the Lagos State Police Command, and an investigation is underway.
According to Hundeyin, the 16-year-old died at school, contrary to reports that he died in the presence of his parents.
“The state’s Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed this in a chat with newsmen, said the police have begun an investigation into the incident.
He just reported the case and we have begun investigation. By tomorrow (Friday) it will be transferred to state CID. We will investigate what killed the boy. They have to do an autopsy and know what happened to him,” he said.
“We can’t tell you what happened to him now until an autopsy is conducted, but the incident happened in the school.” Hundeyin said.
Meanwhile, veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has broken his silence on the death of his grandson, Kambilichukwu Edochie.
The death of actor Yul Edochie’s 16-year-old son, May, sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry and the Nigerian web space on March 30.
Kambilichukwu Edochie, 16, is said to have slumped and had a seizure while playing football with his friends in January 2023.
He was airlifted to Mother and Child Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In an interview with Vanguard, Pete Edochie described Kambilichukwu as a brilliant, unusual child who excelled in everything.
The grandfather expressed regret that his grandson died so young.
