'He got injuries on the lower legs; it is a crash fracture of calcenus bones of both legs," explained Kenneth Obwot, a doctor who airlifted him from Kilimajaro Airport.
Obwot said that Chameleone walked up from his dreams and went through the windows. The singer was alone in the room and the door remained closed. He landed from the third floor of Impala Hotel in Arusha, Tanzania, but was lucky; he had no other injuries apart from the bone fractures.
Chameleone says he went safely to his hotel room after his music show; changed clothes to boxers and slept. But he was shocked to find himself surrounded by people hours later; others were calling him a thief! He was in pain; but one of the onlookers identified him and rushed to call promoters who taken him to Tanzaina.
