“We are pleased to confirm that his condition is stable, and we remain optimistic about his full recovery. We kindly ask the public to keep him in their thoughts and prayers, and to respect his privacy during this time,” Car Soko Management said in an official statement.
The car mart, where he serves as a brand ambassador, added that further updates on his condition will be shared as they become available, requesting privacy.
Medical teams are currently monitoring his recovery to prevent complications from the leg injury.
Otesa rose to national fame due to his towering height of nearly eight feet.
A native of Bungoma County, he relocated to Nairobi in search of better opportunities after his unique stature drew public attention.
Before becoming a digital influencer and brand ambassador, he worked as a herder and charcoal burner.
He has previously spoken about overcoming financial hardship and dropping out of school in Class Four, later turning his physical uniqueness into a successful career in marketing and entertainment.
