Popular Ohangla queen Maureen Achieng popularly known as Lady Maureen has been admitted at the St. Francis Community Hospital in Nairobi.
Reports indicate that the musician had surgery last Saturday after being diagnosed with hypotension, which is a condition associated with low blood pressure.
Further reports indicate that she also has a growth on her back and paralysis on the right side of her body.
“We rushed her to the nearest hospital in Harambee Sacco estate where she lives, but after examination, the hospital referred her to St. Francis Community in Kasarani," a friend was quoted by the Standard.
Lady Maureen reportedly fell ill last week prior to a concert in Migori town. She performed in Migori before returning to Nairobi, where she staged another show.
Her condition deteriorated after the show. She is popularly known for her hit songs such as Gor Mahia, Safari ya Canaan, Raila Jakom, County and Jehova Iber among others.
Maureen's illness comes less than two months after the Queen of Ohangla was released from prison in Tanzania. She was arrested and jailed together with her 15 band members.
They were behind bars for nine days for allegedly working in Tanzania without permits. The musician described the claim as a ploy to tarnish her name and career through bad press.
