Media personality Andrew Kyamagero has undergone surgery, though he did not disclose the details of his illness or the hospital where the procedure took place.
He shared an update on his X account, saying, "After hours in surgery, Mwami, Taata, my greatest friend and smooth operator, is back to us. Thank God for his strength and resilience. The first thing he said when he woke up? 'Let’s pray.'"
He went on to add, "Then, 'Have you all eaten something?' Mwami gave instructions: × Wake me up every 2 hrs to hydrate. × Keep this room quiet. He’ll be silent for 10 days as per the doctor's advice. Friends, business partners, family… kindly just text. Management."
Fellow media personality Kasuku commented, "Uncle Kyams, quick recovery bro. Get better and better fast."
Former AIGP Asan Kasingye also wished him well, saying, "Quick recovery ndugu. God’s total healing hand is abound. Shall keep you in prayer. 🙏🏿"
