She outlined the two main signs her brother experienced:

1. A persistent, "hollow" cough that lasted for months without any accompanying cold symptoms.
2. Sudden and rapid weight loss, which was particularly noticeable given his usual large stature (6'4").

The lady said:

"He had a cough with no cold for a few months. Yeah, if you find yourself having a cough, I know it sounds crazy, but a cough was the main thing. And after that, he lost weight randomly. My brother was 52, and he was tall, 6'4", big guy, and he started losing weight. And he had this cough that wouldn't go."

The video has gained significant attention following the death of popular Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, who also battled advanced metastatic kidney cancer.
