Akuku Danger, a comedian, has pleaded for assistance to get him out of the hospital where he has been released but held because of unpaid hospital bills totaling more than Sh800,000.
The comedian claimed that the ongoing hospital visits caused by his sickle cell anemia have sapped him emotionally, financially, and physically. The comedian said that he cried out for assistance and added that he never desired to be ill.
“I never asked to be in this position, half of this year has been months and months of hospital admissions due to sickle cell anaemia which has since drained me both mentally, financially and even physically and that’s why I come to you guys seeking help. It’s been challenging but I’m hanging in there. Msichoke na Mimi🙏” wrote Akuku Danger.
On Tuesday, June 21, actress Sandra Dacha revealed that the comedian was healthy enough to go home but that the hospital was unable to discharge him due to an unpaid payment. Dacha added that efforts to have the comedian fired and removed from collateral were unsuccessful.
“He got discharged Yesterday but the hospital is Detaining him until he pays the remaining balance. The hospital has refused to accept a collateral so that he can organize his finances from outside despite having their collateral from the January bill which has a higher value than the total bill,” wrote Sandra Dacha on her Instagram page.
Akuku was born with Sickle Cell Anemia, a lifelong chronic disease, according to Mwalim Churchill’s disclosure on December 31, 2021.
“Akuku Danger was born with Sickle Cell Anemia and it keeps coming and going. That’s cancer of the blood and he is always in and out of the hospital. Being able to come here and entertain you is what has kept him going. Imagine being told you have a year to live.”
