The father of fallen media personality and reggae emcee Njambi Koikai, Daniel Koikai has reportedly committed suicide.
Daniel Koikai is reported to have died on the eve of his daughter’s burial at the Lang’ata Cemetry. Reports indicate it was a self-inflicted death.
On the day prior, June 13, 2024, Mr. Koikai paid tribute to his daughter during her memorial service, expressing deep remorse for not being fully present in her life.
“Dear Njambi my daughter, the time has come for me to atone for my acts of omission or commission on your final journey from this world it has been one of the most difficult episodes in my life, especially for your close family members – your mother, sister aunts, uncles and colleagues in the media and friends in and out of the country,” Daniel Koikai said.
It was only when Jahmby was in high school that they had the opportunity to reconnect.
“It is only when you got to Form One and I was back in the country that we were able to meet when you came to the office to look for me.”
Despite the distance, he ensured he provided for her education and supported her in various ways.
Jahmby Koikai, affectionately known as Fyah Mummah, succumbed to a prolonged battle with endometriosis and passed away at Nairobi Hospital. Her funeral took place at Lang’ata Cemetery, where she was laid to rest.
