I shunned Junior Pope’s burial because he betrayed me – Yul Edochie

Controversial Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has claimed that his late colleague, Junior Pope, betrayed him repeatedly while he was alive despite  the fact that he was there for him in his times of need.

According to Edochie, it was the reason he shunned the late actor’s burial in Enugu State on Friday.

Continuing, the actor said he wanted to wait till after Junior Pope’s burial before he reveal how the late actor betrayed him.

He promised the full story of how Junior Pope betrayed him soon.

On his Instagram story, Edochie wrote: “I didn’t want to say anything till after his burial. I know many asked why I wasn’t there. Why I haven’t said anything about it since.

“I took him like a brother & good friend. I was there for him when he needed me. But he stabbed me in the back repeatedly. That’s life!

“I’ll drop the full details soon so others can learn from it.

“Be careful what you wish people, it could come to you.”

It would be recalled that Junior Pope died on April 10, 2024, alongside three others after their boat capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a film location.
