News of Mama Baha's 'demise' came as a shock to Michael better known as Baba Baha in the local show Machachari. Not because she had actually passed on, but because he was with her for two days after the said 'death'. "I heard the news from a friend last Friday while attending another funeral," he said adding that the rumor was that she had committed suicide but it was unclear why.
Wanjiku Mburu, for that is Mama Baha's real name, declined to comment on the issue saying she was still in a state of shock. "I do not want to do interviews especially after what I have gone through. I ask that you forgive me. I will not answer any questions right now." She however posted a video on Monday on her Facebook account saying she is alive and well and captioned it; "To my fans....I AM ALIVE!?#ONELOVE".
