    Yul Edochie Denies Links To Ladipo Kidnappers

    Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has distanced himself from having a relationship with a movie producer and CEO of Ason-Rich Movie Production, Henry Odenigbo.

    Recall that Lagos police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin said some kidnappers were killed in a gun duel in Ladipo Mushin after receiving intelligence about their plot to abduct wealthy individuals in the state.

    Hundeyin, however, didnโ€™t disclose the identities of the slain kidnappers.

    Days after the news went viral, a filmmaker and actor, Stanley Nwoko, aka Stanley Ontop, posted photos of the controversial producer, Odenigbo.

    Odenigbo was alleged to be the โ€˜โ€˜ringleaderโ€™โ€™ of the kidnap gang, killed in the shootout by the men of the Lagos State Police Command.

    Reacting to the development,, in an Instagram video, Edochie debunked rumours that he was a friend of the deceased.

    The 42-year-old actor explained that the photo of himself (Edochie) and the deceased, now being circulated, was taken in June on a movie set, adding that there was nothing more.

    Edochie added that the viral photo of them was taken on a movie set at the request of the late filmmaker.

    He said, โ€œAccording to the police, the guy is a kidnapper. Iโ€™ve heard stories and noticed that some blogs posted my picture with him, implying heโ€™s my friend. So, I want to state that the guy wasnโ€™t my friend. Iโ€™ve been in Nollywood for 19 years, going on 20 years.

    โ€œI only saw this guy once when I shot a movie for him a few weeks ago. A director contracted me for a movie and paid me for a job. I even thought it was the directorโ€™s movie until I came to the set and met this guy.

    โ€œI think he called himself Ason-Rich Henry. He came to me, introduced himself as Ason-Rich Productions, and said his name was Henry.

    โ€˜โ€˜We greeted them, I shot the movie, and on the last day of shooting, he came to me and said he was so excited that he finally got to work with me. I think he also played a role in the movie. He asked if he could take a picture with me, and I said okay. We took pictures, and I left for the next set.

    โ€œThat was the first time I saw him, and I never saw him again. Thatโ€™s the picture a lot of people are circulating. I understand people are circulating the picture and saying heโ€™s my friend. He is not my friend. I got to know him as a producer, and I donโ€™t know why people are circulating my picture,โ€™โ€™ Edochie said.

    Odenigbo produced over ten movies in 2024 and worked with famous names, including Edochie, Kelvin Ikeduba, and Eve Esin. On Wednesday, Edochie confirmed he starred in Sharonโ€™s Fate, one of Odenigboโ€™s movies.

    The producerโ€™s YouTube page shows that the movie (Sharonโ€™s Fate) has yet to be released, but on 11 June, the deceased shared pictures on his Instagram page of himself, Edochie and other actors on a movie set.
