Cancer Warrior Jadudi, real name Emmanuel Otieno, has unfortunately died at Kisumu hospital after years of unsuccessful surgeries to remove a tumor in his head.

Jadudi shot into the limelight in 2015 after Jackson Biko, Business Daily writer, highlighted his battle with a brain tumor that had seen him undergo seven surgeries

Biko’s blog post,The thing in Judi’s head, saw Kenyans raise Sh6.4 million in less than two days for Jadudi’s medical bill.

The funds were however the subject of a public uproar after it emerged that Jadudi’s medical expenses were actually covered by the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF)

The Africa Cancer Foundation (ACF), which co-ordinated the funds drive, fell short of answering how the money was used.

A number of disappointed Kenyans have come out on twitter to blame the loss on politicians looting public money that has resulted in poor health sector.
