Running to Citizen TV Studios for the 7pm Bulletin
Lulu Hassan and her counterpart Rashid Abdalla on October 19, 2019, sought to veer off the norm during their 7 pm news bulletin where they began their presentations in the streets and raced each other to Citizen TV studios.
The two anchors matched each other in steps as they kicked in their Kipchoge hype, much to the amazement of many Kenyans.
Catching her breath after the brief run, Lulu Hassan jokingly stated, “Tumekimbia kama Flash (we’ve run like the Flash).”
Rashid Abdalla echoed Kipchoge’s sentiments urging Kenyans to follow their dreams.
“If you can believe in yourself and work hard, you can accomplish all you want in life,” he stated.
Exposé helps get Man released
The news anchor was hailed for an exposé, aired in March 2019, which featured the story of a murder convict, Mboya Ndindi, who was handed a life sentence following the killing of his father.
The story surprisingly took a life on its own, when the feature went viral as the convict made a plea to have his sentence reduced/ scrapped. The judge heard his plea, ruling that the 18-year prison sentence he had served was enough and hence he was set free.
Overcome with so much emotions, Ndindi stated that he had not lost hope that one day he would be set free. The feature, also facilitated reconciliation between Ndindi and his family.

The power couple shared a light moment during Bi Mswafiri’s segment on Sunday, October 10 when Lulu cornered her husband into answering what he would do if he found out that he was not the biological father to their children.
Rashid, who was stunned at first, had a moment of silence as he contemplated the scenario.
“Atamaliza sentensi?, Sidhani atamaliza sentensi, (Would she even get through the sentence, I don’t think she would make it through the sentence)”, leaving Lulu in stitches.

“What does one say to someone with such resilience, such power, the discipline you display makes me wonder, what if we had more and more of you around us?
“You are destined for great heights and I will be here to hold you, to walk with you. I am here if you ever need me. On this day as you turn a day older, do not forget what you are; a flower. May your blossom always be as bright,” Lulu Hassan stated on Monday, October 5.
