Nigerian actor Yul Edochie seems to have made a U-turn after the massive outrage he ignited on the internet on Tuesday afternoon, May 21). The filmmaker spoke of his deliberate absence from his late colleague Junior Pope’s burial and accused the deceased of “backstabbing” him several times.
He stated that he needed to explain himself since people were confused about his absence from the funeral occasion held in Enugu state on May 17.
He, however, admitted that the late actor was more like a brother to him. Yul did not go into depth about what had happened between them but promised to reveal more information later.
In less than 24 hours after his allegations, the upcoming preacher spoke on the infallible nature of man and declared forgiveness for the departed thespian, whom he referred to as “a friend he loved deeply.” He called out his colleagues and social media users who create content based on events in people’s lives without knowing the struggles they face daily.
He then called for unity and peace on social media and prayed for the family of the dead Nollywood star.

bimboadewuyi Send this to the woman who lives with you at the moment ! Especially the part that says “when you see your fellow man or woman having issues, don’t be that person who will add to the pain” !
