Controversial Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has announced that he has forgiven his late colleague Junior Pope for allegedly “backstabbing” him.
Yul Edochie recently accused the late actor of betraying him despite considering him a brother and good friend, and being supportive during his time of need. He admitted that the alleged betrayal was the reason he did not mourn Junior Pope’s death.
Edochie’s claims sparked backlash, with many, including his aunt Rita Edochie, criticizing him for holding grudges against the deceased actor.
On his Instagram account, Edochie expressed his forgiveness but acknowledged the deep hurt caused by the alleged betrayal. He wrote, “Speaking about forgiveness. I forgive him completely. It hurts deeply when a friend you love, took like a brother, stood for and shown love over the years turns around to stab you in the back repeatedly without remorse.
“Sadly, that’s the world we live. Humans are filled with flaws. To err is human, to forgive is divine. I forgive him & wish his family the very best.”
