Actor Yul Edochie loses first son

The first son of Nollywood star Yul Edochie, Kambilichukwu Edochie, has reportedly passed away, according to recent sources.

According to reports, Yul’s first child was taken unconscious to the hospital and then given immediate medical attention.

Kambilichukwu’s passing has been verified by Yul, according to a source who talked to Vanguard under the condition of anonymity.

May’s sister who was at the scene said the boy read throughout the night preparing for his exam today.
