Popular Nollywood actor, Onny Michael, has urged Nigerians to avoid insensitive comments about the loss of his colleague, Yul Edochie’s son, Kambilichukwu.
The tragic news of the death of Yul Edochie’s first son with his first wife, May, sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.
In the early hours of March 30th, 2023, reports circulated on social media that the 16-year-old boy had been rushed to the hospital after falling unconscious while playing football at school.
Many social media users accused Yul Edochie of being the cause of his child’s death because of his controversial second marriage to a colleague, Judy Austin.
In response, actor Onny Michael took to his official Instagram page to offer his condolences to the bereaved family and urged people not to connect the loss of a child to their parents’ past actions.
He further pleaded with Nigerians to show empathy and offer words of comfort to the grieving family at this difficult time.
