Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has continued to make headlines since the start of the New Year. The latest was his posthumous birthday message to his late son, Kambilichu­kwu, who passed on in March 2023. Kambili, who would have been 17 on January 4, slumped and died while playing football in school last year.

In the heartfelt message shared via social media, Yul expressed how much he misses his late son, while recounting a dream he had about him. Yul, however, added that he had to stay strong for the deceased’s siblings. The actor also shared a picture of him and his late son alongside the post.
