Ndiki revealed in an emotional Facebook post that his beloved pomeranian pup had died earlier in the month.

In another post, the “Gomora” actor expressed his heartbreak, stating that he is absolutely “shattered” over the loss of his furkid.
“I’ve been going through the most the past 2 days, trying to put it aside just for me to work and we’ll just work and saying to myself I’ll grieve on Sunday, baby I love you you so much much @sugarndiki.
“I love you and hope the other side treats you well, glad to have loved you, known you and been your dad and mom ♥️” shared Ndiki.
He continued: “So many many memories, you’ve been my 1st born and what a pity you couldn’t meet your sibling, I’m shattered and I’m asking myself ndiyintoni ngaphandle (kwakho Sugar, I love you sana lwam ♥️”
He added that his beloved pup will have a befitting send-off.
