“Akuku is my Bae…he is my boyfriend. Now that he is healed, kijana anafaa aende nyumbani, akule na akule ndio apone kabisa. Kijana saizi hakuli vizuri (the guy needs to go home and eat well so that he heals completely. He's not eating well). If you gerrit you gerrit ,” Sandra Dacha joked in a recent interview.
The comedian also confirmed their relationship weeks after being admitted to the ICU earlier in the year.

Dacha has been instrumental for Akuku as he got admitted to the hospital twice. She updated fans on his hospitalisation and has been conducting a fundraiser to help clear the comedian's medical bills.
“It was not easy, so many nurses and doctors from the United States, Canada and East Africa told me you were not going to make it. They said he (Akuku) was not going to recover from illness because he had heart failure and kidney failure. I cried for four days, he was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for seven days and bills had reached Sh2 million,” she recounted.
