According to him, they spent time talking, laughing, and joking in what felt like a typical father-son interaction.
He said they discussed the boy’s height, noting that Kambilichukwu had grown significantly and was almost as tall as him.
The teenager reportedly mentioned that only one student in his class was taller, a comment that made them both laugh.
The actor revealed that just about three hours after his son left for school, he received an urgent call asking him to come to a hospital.
He said he rushed there without any idea of what had happened, only to be met with a heartbreaking reality upon arrival.
According to him, he saw his son lying lifeless in the hospital.
He stated:
"That was my first son. That morning, he came into my room before going to school. We talked and joked about his height because he was quite tall. He was almost taller than me at that time, we joked about it and he told me only one boy was taller than him in his class. We gisted and laughed, then he left. About three hours after they called me, I came to the hospital and I saw him dead like this.”
Yul explained that the final conversation with his son remains deeply etched in his mind because nothing about that morning suggested what was to come.
He described it as one of those moments where normal life continues, completely unaware that everything is about to change in a matter of hours.
