Actor Yul Edochie broke his silence on Thursday evening on the death of his 16-year-old son Kambilinachukwu.
The actor had been mum over the incident which occurred nearly a month ago.
Kambilinachukwu died on March 30 after he developed a seizure in school while playing football with his schoolmates.
Reacting publicly on the incident for the first time, Yul said in an Instagram post that his son made his mark in the world in just 16 years.
He shared a video showing notable moments in the boy’s life including his birthday and graduation.
He recounted his conversation with Kambilinachukwu hours before the incident and how they joked.
Yul added that he could not question God on the unfortunate incident.
“On that Wednesday morning, you came into my room, dressed up for school. You told me your school will be having inter-house sports on Friday and I promised you I’ll be there,” he wrote.
“You were so excited. You told me you won a gold medal in swimming.I congratulated you. We joked about your height, then you left for school in your ever-cheerful manner. And you never came back home again.”
The actor, whose father is the legendary Pete Edochie, described the deceased as one with a gentle soul.
“I can’t question God. My dear son, just 16 years with us here on earth, but you made your mark. Great Son. Calm, cute, brilliant, always cheerful, outstanding footballer, gentle and loving soul. You’re an angel. We miss you. We love you, Kambi. Daddy loves you. But God loves you more. Rest well, Son. Till we meet again. Rest in Heaven with God. My dear son, Kambi Yul-Edochie. Kambi yoooooo!” he wrote.
