During the 7pm Citizen TV news bulletin, co-anchors Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdalla shared an unscripted and entertaining moment that quickly gained attention online.
As the bulletin wrapped up, Rashid noticed Lulu had received a message and encouraged her to read it aloud to viewers. Despite his repeated prompts, Lulu declined to reveal the message's contents, responding with laughter and a visible blush.
Rashid continued to press, saying it would be unfair not to share the message with the audience. Lulu instead thanked the anonymous sender without disclosing any details.
Just before signing off, Rashid cheekily addressed the sender with a playful comment in Swahili: "Na kama wewe ni mtazamaji ujue pia mimi nina moyo," implying he too had feelings and was affected by the situation. This remark left Lulu laughing and sparked widespread amusement among viewers.
