Nollywood actress, Destiny Etiko, has strongly condemned the online trolling directed towards her colleague, Yul Edochie, by some netizens, over the tragic death of his son, Kambilichukwu.

Kambilichukwu Edochie, who turned 16 years old on 4th January 2023, was said to have collapsed and had a seizure while playing football at school on Wednesday, March 29th. Unfortunately, the young boy was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

After Kambilichukwu’s death was reported on social media, some netizens flooded Yul Edochie’s comments section and blamed him for his son’s death, implying that his decision to have two wives led to the tragedy.

In response, Destiny Etiko took to her social media page to criticize the trolls for their lack of compassion and pointed out that now is not the right time to drag the actor.

She wrote:

“Someone just lost his child. And y’all are still trolling him. Haba Nigerians?? Haba…Total lack of empathy. This isn’t the time for this pls. We just lost a human and not a goat or chicken”.
