Jadudi Arrives in India For Brain Surgery

He made headlines when awarding winning writer Biko Zulu penned an emotional piece about his struggle with cancer that had seen him undergo four unsuccessful surgeries.

Literally, Jadudi’s family had run dry out of the desperation they were going through to have their son get the required treatment.

According to Biko Zulu, Jadudi contacted him a year ago and wanted him to tell people the need to stand against cancer. At first Biko ignored and a year later, Jadudi contacted him again. This time round he did something after head of African Cancer Foundation Zawadi Nyong’o tipped him of Jadudi’s condition.

Kenyans were rallied through Biko’s article and they managed to raise more than 6 million shillings for Jadudi.

And now the patient has safely landed in India ahead of his surgery that will help remove the tumor in his head.

Zawadi Nyong’o revealed the information and said: 

“Dear Kenyans, Jadudi has been admitted in Apollo Hospital in Chennai, India & will have his 4th brain tumor surgery this week. THANK YOU!”

She added: 

“Kenyans please pray that Jadudi’s 4th surgery is successful & that it is his LAST one ever. We need this Cancer soldier back home strong.”

Jadudi needed 1 million shillings but Kenyans were able to show their kind side and raised more than 6M under the trendy hash tag #1milliforJadudi.
