Nigerian actor, Yul Edochie, has reportedly lost his first son, Kambilichukwu Edochie.
A family member who confirmed Kambilichukwu’s death to newsmen, said the 16-year hold boy died on Thursday.
“After his exams in school, he joined his mates to play football and he developed a seizure and was rushed to the Mother and Child Hospital. All efforts by the doctors to resuscitate him proved abortive,” the family member said.
Kambilichukwu died two months after celebrating his 16th birthday.
Yul had on January 4 celebrated his birthday via a post on his Instagram page.
“A very happy 16th birthday to my first son, Kambilinachukwu Leo Yul-Edochie. May God lead and protect you always. With many more happy years. Daddy loves you,” thank actor wrote.
Kambilichukwu is the first son and second child of Yul and his first wife, May. The deceased was also one of the grandsons of veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie.
