Mugithi singer Peter Miracle Baby has undergone another surgery days after allegations of neglect by well-wishers surfaced.
Despite promises of assistance and financial aid, Miracle Baby's treatment took a distressing turn, leaving his family in a state of despair and uncertainty with social media personality Bernice Saroni revealing that Carol Katrue, expressed deep distress over the lack of progress in her husband's treatment.
Reports indicate that the former TV presenter underwent a successful surgery at a Nairobi hospital on Thursday, April 18.
A video recorded before the surgery and which was shared online shows the singer in high spirits, assuring friends and family that he would come out of the operation.
"Praise the Lord. I must come out of this, right? We'll catch up later," The renowned Mugithi and Gengetone singer is heard telling those who had accompanied him to hospital before making his way to the theater.
The youthful singer has been in and out of hospital with health challenges dating back to 2018 with his wife, Carol Katrue revealing that his appendix had been removed in an earlier operation.
"He has been suffering from stomach issues since 2018 when he underwent his first surgery. The doctors said they were removing a growth, they did a CT scan, said things were blocked, and performed surgery." Katrue explained in January.
"They couldn't see his appendix. Then we did a CT scan. It turned out another hospital had removed his appendix. We thought they had removed the growth instead. They also didn't return his organs properly." Katrue explained.
