In a statement provided to Vanguard, May Edochie’s sister shared the heartbreaking details surrounding the sudden loss of Kambilichukwu. According to her, the boy had spent the night studying for his upcoming exam, which was scheduled for March 30, 2023. After completing the test, he went out to play football with some friends. It was during the game that he began to experience seizures, and he was quickly transported to the Mother and Child Hospital.

Recently, the family had celebrated his 15th birthday, with Yul taking to Instagram to share a heartfelt message for his son. “My first son just turned 15. Happy birthday to you Kambi Leo Yul-Edochie. Many more great years I wish you with loads of accomplishments and greatness. May God be with you always. Daddy loves you,” the post read.
