Actor Yul Edochie has called on the Lagos state police command to begin an investigation on the death of his son, Kambilichukwu.
16-year-old Kambilichukwu, first son of Yul Edochie, and May was reported to have slumped and died after he experienced a seizure at his school, the Vanguard confirmed on Thursday.
Confirming the sad news to Vanguard, yesterday, a family member had said Kambilichukwu fell down while playing football with his schoolmates and developed a seizure.
However, Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos state police spokesperson, in a chat with BBC, confirmed that there is an ongoing investigation to uncover the cause of Kambilichukwu’s death.
Hundeyin said Yul reported the incident at a police station close to him.
“He has just reported the case and we have started our investigation,” Hundeyin said.
“By tomorrow, it will be entered into the criminal investigation department. We will investigate what led to the boy’s death.
“There’s a need to carry out an autopsy to know what really happened. We can’t really say what happened until the autopsy is done but the incident happened at his school.”
Kambilichukwu’s demise comes just about two months after Yul celebrated his 16th birthday.
