Nollywood actor Yul Edochie announced that he has forgiven his late colleague Junior Pope for allegedly backstabbing him. Yul had previously accused the deceased actor of betrayal, despite considering him a brother and good friend.
Yul disclosed that the alleged betrayal was the reason he did not mourn Junior Pope’s passing. His statements sparked backlash, including criticism from his aunt, Rita Edochie, who reprimanded him for holding grudges against the late actor.
The actor, however, said though he has forgiven Pope Junior, but was deeply hurt by the alleged betrayal.
On his Instagram account, Edochie 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.”
