Former boxing champion Conjestina Achieng has been spotted for the first time since entering rehab last year.
The 41-year-old former boxer, dressed in fitness outfit, was photographed outside of Aden Rehabilitation Center on Sunday and the sighting is already a noticeable improvement from the way she appeared in photos taken late last year.
Photos posted on Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s official Facebook wall shows the former boxer at the rehab Center working out and in high spirit.
In regards to her rehab stay, Sonko who staged an intervention prior to taking her to treatment, revealed that Conjestina was doing fine after checking in for treatment.
Conjestina entered rehab for the third time in late November 2018 after being rescued from her ancestral home. She was diagnosed with a psychiatric condition which has seen her on and off hospital for a while.
“I am happy to see veteran boxers Conjestina Achieng and Suleiman Bilali are responding well to treatment since their admission at Aden Rehabilitation Center in late last year,” Sonko wrote on his Facebook account.
“Conjestina’s family has visited her at the rehabilitation center together with the Nairobi City County Sports Board and WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Fatuma Zarika.
