Media personality Willis Raburu and his wife Mary Prude have suffered a devastating loss with the stillbirth of their unborn child.

According to Willis, his wife had developed complications that led to the tragic outcome.

Willis shared a tear-jerking story on his WhatsApp, explaining what happened and thanking those who supported him and his wife through the journey.

"Alvin, my brother, There is no easier way to say this. God called our little baby angel home. We got into labor but there were some complications and a clot so we pushed out a stillbirth." "My heart is completely broken, she is such a beautiful angel. I want to thank you for all the support during this time for the comfort and the love, for getting Mary fit and ready she did so well at labor. We are trying to be strong but we are absolutely devastated. I know it will be hard even for Nessy when she hears the sad news but tell her to take heart as well," he wrote in part.

Willis also shared an emotional message about his unborn daughter, Adana.

"We were all waiting for the baby, but God called her home. My angel Adana is on the other side now looking over us and we will do her proud. One day at a time. We will be quiet and away for a while but we will be back. Once again thanks."

Our thoughts are with the Raburu family during this difficult time.
