Comedian and radio personality Wangari Nguri alias Auntie Jemimah has announced that she lost her newborn daughter immediately after birth.

In an Instagram post seen by Pulse Live Kenya, Jemimah said she gave birth to her baby girl Nduta at 34 weeks but sadly she had passed on.

“On 29:9:21, my girl arrived at 34weeks, sleeping. I held her in my arms and said goodbye. I am broken, oh so broken that there was nothing I could do to bring her back to life.

I therefore will be taking a sabbatical to mourn my Nduta the best way I know how and for as long as it takes. Thank you for the love and support. Auntie will be back,” she wrote.

Jemimah's funny skits, which she does in Kikuyu have earned her hundreds of thousands of followers on YouTube and social media.

Auntie Jemimah also co-hosts Gukena drive show with Wagura wa Githui (Monday to Friday) and she also has another show on Sunday from 10am on Gukena FM.
