In a surprising revelation, Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has announced that he has forgiven his late colleague, Junior Pope, for what he describes as a significant betrayal.

Despite his past accusations that Pope, whom he considered a brother and close friend, had backstabbed him, Edochie has chosen to let go of his grudges.

Edochie, known for his outspoken nature, recently opened up about his strained relationship with the late actor. He admitted that the alleged betrayal was the reason he did not mourn Pope's passing, a decision that sparked widespread backlash. Even his aunty, Rita Edochie, publicly criticized him for harboring resentment against the deceased.

While expressing his forgiveness, Edochie conveyed the deep hurt caused by Pope's actions but emphasized that he is moving forward with a sense of closure.

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.”
