Kikuyu gospel artist Karangu Wa Muraya has reported that fellow gospel artist Njeru Thiga has successfully undergone surgery in India.
This, undoubtedly, has offered relief and renewed hope to fans and fellow artists who have been praying for his recovery.
Taking to his Facebook account on Thursday, January 1, 2026, Karangu stated that the procedure was successful and thanked God for what he described as a powerful New Year miracle.
He shared photos taken late at night, showing himself and others standing near a hospital bed where Njeru Thiga lay shortly before being taken to the operating theatre.
According to Karangu, the family and close friends waited anxiously for more than 15 hours as doctors worked on the singer.
“After so many hours of waiting from late last night, Jehovah has done His miracle of the new year 2026,” he posted.
A long night of prayers
In his message, Karangu urged supporters to join them in thanking God, noting that the successful operation marked a significant milestone in a journey that has been emotionally and physically draining.
He described the experience as a test of faith, patience, and unity among believers.
The update comes weeks after Njeru Thiga travelled to India for specialised cancer treatment following an emotional fundraising appeal.
In December 2025, Karangu had shared photos of Njeru and his wife, Njambi, at the airport, confirming that arrangements for treatment had been completed in record time.
At the time, Karangu thanked fans, fellow artistes, and well-wishers for contributing towards the targeted Ksh3M needed for treatment, saying collective support made the trip possible.
He also asked Kenyans to continue praying and supporting the singer during his treatment journey.
Hope into 2026
Njeru Thiga’s illness had shocked many in the gospel music fraternity, coming shortly after the death of another revered Kikuyu gospel singer from cancer.
The family had previously revealed that doctors were concerned about how fast the illness was spreading, prompting urgent medical intervention.
Karangu’s latest update has since been met with an outpouring of gratitude messages online, with fans expressing relief and hope as 2026 begins.
Many described the successful surgery as a reminder of resilience, faith, and the power of communal support during moments of deep uncertainty.
