Yul Edochie reveals what he did to staff caught stealing from him

Nollywood actor and producer, Yul Edochie has revealed how he handled a staff he caught stealing from him.

He made the revelation in a Facebook post on Sunday.

Edochie said that after catching the staff, whom he took as a brother, in the act, he sacked him and told him to go far away.

According to the actor, the sacked staff later called to apologise for his action.

He said although he never wanted to have anything else to do with the former employee, the incident thought him the value of forgiveness.

“I had a staff whom I took like a brother and was even dashing him money from time to time, in addition to paying him for his services.

“One day I found out he was stealing from me and had stolen so much money already. (In this hard economy).

“I laid him off. He didn’t have money to pay back, I just told him to go, don’t pay back just go so you won’t steal more.

“Later he called to beg for forgiveness. I forgave him but I told him to stay far away from me. A few months after he called begging me for financial assistance.

“As a human being, the first thought that came to me was ‘what nerve, he still has guts to beg for money, what an ingrate’. I felt like unleashing my anger on him.

“But later in my quiet moment I started thinking. ‘Everyday we wrong God and we ask for forgiveness, and we still ask for his blessings.

“What is forgiveness if you can’t lend him help? In the course of living here on earth some people will offend you and you will offend some people too.

“As we ask God for forgiveness and blessings, we must be willing to forgive and bless those who wrong us’. That’s the true preaching of Jesus Christ.

“These thoughts kept ringing in my head. So I sent him money. Life is short. None of us will be here forever. ❤️❤️✌️✌️”
