She revealed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja. According to her, she was sexually violated at a young age by a family friend.
She explained that the pregnancy was about seven months before her mother noticed it.
Edochie added that her mother was shocked at the pregnancy because she thought her being strict would not allow such a thing to happen.
The veteran actress then called on parents to communicate regularly with their children and make them their best friends.
