The story of Yul & his stalker has been trending for quite sometime now and doesn't seem to be letting up, I didn't want to touch this story but....:

Last week, in an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, popular actor, Yul Edochie, explained how a gay stalker was making life unbearable for him. He claimed that the gay stalker, Steve Ugochukwu, met him through Facebook and demanded to be his gay partner.

He also shared how Ugochukwu always called him and his wife incessantly.

But in a twist of event, Ugochukwu contacted Saturday Beats via Facebook to state his side of the story.
The young man who resides in Canada, expressed shock that Edochie referred to him as a stalker. He told Saturday Beats via a series of mail how he met Edochie and sent some snapshots of their conversation.

He claimed that he was in a discreet sexual relationship with Edochie who always demanded gifts from him. He queried why the actor would demand gifts from him if he were a stalker.

Ugochukwu said that so far he had sent an iPad and two wristwatches to the actor. He said whenever they have lover’s tiff, Edochie would get slightly upset and would ask him to pay a fine which he would gladly pay.

He said, “I met him via a friend, a gay Nollywood location manager. My friend told me that Yul Edochie was his ex boyfriend, so I decided to give it a trial of which he accepted. He requested that I should send him my picture of which I did. I started asking for his and he refused. By that time, I had filed papers for his family to travel to Canada and sent him two chronograph timepieces and other material things which he requested. We were in a discreet bisexual relationship because he mentioned to me not to get his wife involved. He also told me over the phone the hours I should call him and when not to.

“When he is on location, I can call anytime I want. The relationship went sour because he refused to send the pictures of his manhood after I sent mine. When he refused, I kept calling his line and he started changing his numbers. But later, he told me he didn’t want to send it to me because of his colleagues. He said he was scared that I might leak the pictures and his colleagues would see it.”

Ugochukwu told Saturday Beats that he and Edochie were in a relationship for about a year and a half. He said that they had intimate discussions over the telephone.

“I need to know if he was trying to scam me or rip me off. Why would he be requesting gifts from me if we weren’t into each other? If we weren’t in a discreet relationship, he wouldn’t say such to me. No hard core straight guy would ever open his mouth to say that to a stalker but he told me that several times. He said anytime I insulted him, I would pay fine. Yes, I paid fines because he kept demanding things from me,” he said.

Yul is one the respected actors in Nollywood not just because he's Pete Edochie's son but because he is also a good actor and it's sad that he's embroiled in this kind of story.Hopefully it will be resolved by the parties involved and it will all be like a bad dream for Yul....
