In an emotional moment during the funeral ceremony of the late Nollywood actor, Murphy Afolabi, his first son came forward to publicly seek forgiveness from his deceased father.
The grieving son took the opportunity to shed light on the events that transpired between them and expressed his regret for not having the chance to apologize.
The emotional revelation took place on Monday, as family, friends, and fans gathered to bid farewell to the acclaimed actor.

“He was a father to me, and I appreciate all that he did for me,” the son solemnly declared. “Even though I offended him, he should forgive me wherever he is. When I saw him last month, he never told me he is leaving me. He gave me over N100,000 and told me to go bring my wife and daughter.”
