My 10-year-old brother died of sickle cell in Nigeria – Mike Edwards

The father of one in an Instagram post on Saturday shared a picture of his younger self with his siblings.

“My older brother Matthew lost his life during a sickle cell crisis in Nigeria when he was 10 years old, to think if he would have been in a country with better health care support that his life would be saved today is heartbreaking,” Mike wrote.

The Big Brother Naija season 4 first runner-up added: “The fight to End SARS is our cry for help after years of corruption and bad governance.”
