Kenyan hospital sources have confirmed that Ugandan musician Jackie Chandiru was admitted to Naguru Hospital in the country after her health began to deteriorate.

According to close sources from the hospital, Chandiru is suffering from an unknown illness, with her body filled with pus-filled sores.

It is reported that Chandiru was admitted to the hospital in a state of disarray, wearing dirty clothes and shoes that were untied.

"My colleague who works at the hospital has described Chandiru's condition as dire, with her body filled with pus-filled sores and her health in a state of complete collapse," said a hospital official.

Chandiru's health issues are not new, as she has been open about her struggles with substance abuse in the past, including her use of cocaine.

However, it is unclear what exactly is causing her current health issues, and hospital officials have not released any further information.
