Stand-up comedian Bobi Brown, real name Simon Katongole, of the popular comedy duo Bobi Brown and Nilo Nilo is seeking financial support as he battles bladder and kidney complications.
He has been bedridden and on medication for more than two weeks since he last took to the stage to perform.
Speaking on Sanyuka TV’s Uncut show, Bobi Brown who resides in Nansana, disclosed that his health struggles started when he was attacked and severely thumped by goons in 2021.
He endured a terrible period but certainly got the required treatment and bounced back on his feet. Little did he get to know that his lower body got affected because the signs did not show up early.
Recently, he began experiencing unusual feelings and conditions within his lower body organs and when he went for screening, the doctors revealed to him that he had a complication with his bladder and kidney.
The father of three is now seeking financial support of about Shs5M for a surgery that should be carried out before the end of this month or within the first two days of November.
Bobi Wine has since pleaded to Hon. Hajjat Hamisa Kabanda, Bebe Cool, Mama Fina, Don Chris, and Pastor Bugembe plus all well-wishers to reach out to him with financial aid so that he can have a successful kidney surgery urgently for his condition to stabilise.
His doctor also barred him from making any more stage performances as his health is in a very poor condition which needs to be at rest.
