Disgraced Bongo Flava musician Rehema Chelamila alias Ray C has been sent back to Rehab, Life and Hope Rehabilitation Centre better known to many as 'Sober House', in Bagamoyo, Dar es salaam, a few days after being rescued by police while attempting to commit suicide.
Last week on Friday, a heartbreaking video of the disgraced singer trying to commit suicide went viral before she was rescued on time by the police while attempting to end her life using a knife.
The clip shows Ray C being escorted in a police van after the unsuccessful attempted suicide, while claiming that she was being kidnapped.
POLICE TO THE RESCUE
According to Mwanaspoti newspaper, the singer was on the night of Thursday June 16, 2016 yelling in the streets of Kinondoni Manyanya in Dar es Salaam, and asking to be given a knife to stab herself, when police came to her rescue.
After the police rescued her, she was taken to Sober House Rehab Center on Saturday where she is currently as it was confirmed by one of the Rehab Center Directors Karima Banji a day after her arrival.
"Yes it's true we received Ray C but I honestly can't comment on her state because it's too early to say anything vivid about her state," Karim told Mwanaspoti.
This incident comes at a time when there have been many media reports stating that the once sensational bongo flava star, had gone back to hard drugs.
It has been widely reported that Ray C who has been receiving 'Meth' treatment for the last three years since being released from the Sober House, had gone back in to taking the hard drugs substance while at the same time being under medication.
PASSED OUT
Last year in December, she was scheduled to perform her first show dubbed 'Ray C Grand Come Back' in Mombasa organised by Ring Ring Entertainment, but she missed her flight on the D Day passing out after what was reported to be drug-related reasons.
Ray C confessed she hardly even knew to smoke when she got in to drug abuse in 2012 after being introduced to the lifestyle by her ex-boyfriend rapper Lord Eyes.
The abuse hard a great impact on her flourishing music career that saw her sell her palatial house she had bought in Dar es Salaam from music proceedings and clothing shops, in order to have enough money to quench her thirst for the drugs.
It's at this time that her health deteriorated drastically forcing the then Tanzania president Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, one of her greatest fans, to come to her rescue where he ordered that she be taken to rehab (Sober House) and even went a step ahead and hired body guards to watch over her. After three years in rehab and seemingly to have recovered, she was released.
The latest incident is the lowest she has sunk ever since she got clean.
