UK-Based Nigerian Father Dies in Sleep, Community Rallies to Support His Widow and Children

A UK-based Nigerian father, Kayode Ogunbodede, passed away suddenly in his sleep on May 26, 2026, in Swansea, Wales. Known as Kay, he was an active member of both Elim City Church in Swansea and the Redeemed Christian Church of God, and was respected across Nigerian and African communities in the UK. Kay leaves behind his wife and two daughters, aged six years and six months. His widow is still a student and is currently unable to work, making financial support essential at this difficult time. Friends and church members have launched a fundraising appeal to help cover the family’s living and medical expenses. They remember Kay as calm, helpful, and always ready to lend a hand. Any assistance for his wife and children would be greatly appreciated.
