Erodi’s neighbour Kelvine Lagat, told Tuko that the young soldier ails from a family of seven siblings and was a renowned sportsman while at Mogonga Secondary School in Kisii.

“He deserves that job. His talent allowed him to complete high school without paying school fees, so his mother supported him in terms of transport back to school,” he stated.

Erodi, a Kenya Army Volleyball Champion, joined the military after high school and graduated as a full soldier, highlighting the untold heroes who nurture the nation’s defenders.
