In an interview by vanguard, Yul Edochie’s father, Pete Edochie remarked “Kambilinachukwu is a very quiet, brilliant and talented child. He’s not somebody you can ride easily. He doesn’t get angry no matter the situation. He may change his composure, but he was definitely a very unusual person in so many respects.
“ I always tell my son that I don’t like people excelling like this in anything they are involved in. Experience has taught me that such people don’t last long.”
The Nollywood actor said they let out cries of prayer after getting the news , but all to no avail.
Several friends of the family have gone out of their way to call, pray, also to post their condolences publicly to the Family.
May God grant the family perfect peace and comfort in this time.
