What those who have watched him do his journalism work don't know is that he also doubles up as a mortician, a person who prepares dead bodies for burial.

This sounds creepy but it is the reality.

When not in the newsroom, he is in a room stuffed with dead bodies, preparing them before burial.

In an exclusive interview with a K24 journalist, Mr Njoka revealed that he learned the trade from his father who was also involved in it.

"My dad is the one who taught me how to be a mortician, so to speak. His objective was to make me work here, learn skills. He thought that I would start my own hospital and my own mortuary," Njoka says.

Many people would freak out at the sight of dead bodies but that cannot be said of him as he does his 'creepy' work with the same ease, if not more, he projects during anchoring.

The mortuary that he works in was built by his father fifteen years ago.

To him, being a mortician is just like any other job.
