The former Churchill Show comedian has barely recovered from a traumatic one year having battled depression which led to attempted suicide three times. Consequently, Njoro took a break off social media in August last year to manage with his mental health.

"Guys, I will be away for some time, for treatment (1-3mnths) coz my ( brain) is not okay. No matter how good a car is, without an engine hakuna gari. I will be offline but I will be coming on Instagram live every Saturday at 8 pm to update you on how I am doing with the treatment," he wrote on social media.

As if that wasn't enough, his father a casual labourer was diagnosed with stomach cancer last year. In an earlier interview with The Nairobian, the father-of-four thanked friends and well-wishers for helping him back on his feet at a time when he was too depressed to take care of his family.
