Shock as Jahmby Koikai’s Gravesite Vandalised
Clips circulating on social media on September 8, 2025 show the metal railings and gate surrounding her grave were stolen. Her fans are heartbroken and angry more than a year after she passed on.
Known as Fyah Mummah, Jahmby was a vibrant voice in the entertainment industry and a fearless women’s health advocate. She died on June 4, 2024 at 38 after a long battle with thoracic endometriosis—a rare and life threatening condition she spoke about to inspire and empower others.
Outrage from Fans and Kenyans
The desecration of her grave has sparked outrage. Kenyans online are fuming that thieves can disrespect even a cultural icon who gave so much to society. A viral video of the scene captures a mourner lamenting: “Wamengoa machuma hapa. Zote zimetolewa chuma. Hadi hii ya Jahmby huwezi jua. Watu hawana adabu.” (They have uprooted all the metal. Even Jahmby’s grave was not spared. People have no respect.)
Grave vandalism is not new in Nairobi. For years families have complained of insecurity in public cemeteries where metal fixtures are stolen and sold as scrap. Jahmby’s case is another painful reminder of the need for better security and cemetery management.
Her Legacy Lives On
While the vandalism has caused fresh pain, Jahmby Koikai’s impact remains unshaken. She was more than a reggae DJ—she was a cultural icon, a trailblazer in media and a symbol of resilience. From her early days on the radio to her powerful endometriosis awareness campaign, she touched many lives and gave a voice to the voiceless.
Even in the face of disrespect, her light still shines in the hearts of those who loved her courage, artistry and advocacy.
