Actor Yul Edochie has spoken out about rumors connecting him to fellow actor the late Eson Rich, who was shot by the police during a gunfight.
The Lagos State Police Command announced last week that nine suspected kidnappers who “targeted high net-worth residents” in the state had been killed.
The command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed that a gunfight led to the deaths of the suspects.
The kidnapping case took an unexpected turn when prominent movie producer Eson Rich became one of the main suspects.
The widely circulated image of him and Yul, accompanied by reports of the deceased director, portrayed them as close friends, adding a sensational aspect to the unfolding story.
Yul Edochie criticized blogs for alleging that he was friends with the deceased. He adamantly refuted the claim that they were friends, explaining that their only interaction had been a chance meeting on a film set when they took a photo together.
