Gospel artiste Ringtone Apoko, whose real name is Alex Apoko, has recently revealed that he is hospitalized due to health issues.
The well-known musician, famous for his gospel songs, is currently receiving treatment in a Nairobi hospital.
His hospitalization comes at a challenging time as he is also facing serious legal troubles related to a land fraud case.
Ringtone has been admitted to the hospital after suffering from a respiratory infection and chest pain.
His lawyer submitted medical documents to the court, explaining that Ringtone’s condition required him to stay in the hospital to avoid exposure to cold weather, which could worsen his health.
Despite this explanation, the court issued a warrant for his arrest because he did not attend a scheduled court hearing regarding his legal issues.
The gospel artist is facing charges of conspiracy to defraud a woman out of a parcel of land valued at Ksh 50 million (approximately $500,000).
The court is set to hear testimonies from several witnesses, including the complainant, Teresia Adhiambo.
Ringtone’s absence from the court has raised concerns, and Senior Principal Magistrate Dolphina Alego decided to issue the arrest warrant despite the medical documents provided by his lawyer.
Fans and the public have expressed their concern for Ringtone’s health and well-being.
Many are hoping for his quick recovery so he can return to his music career and address the legal issues he is facing.
Ringtone has been a controversial figure in the Kenyan music scene, often making headlines for various reasons, including previous rumors about his death, which he has publicly denied.
