Anne Ngugi, the once famous journalist was reducing to nothing after being sacked by K24 for embarrassing them.
Ngugi, who was working as a news anchor and earning over Ksh250, 000 at K24 was told to pack and go before lunch time. During that time she was heavily pregnant. Anne left.
This is what happened:
Anne’s name was mentioned in a case where her Nigerian husband, Hypolite Nyong’bia and Kamimbaya Soumali, were charged with defrauding a Nigerian businessman and two Koreans off Sh.6.4 million.
The two allegedly received the cash in Nairobi and Kinshasa in 2013 pretending they could sell them 50 kilos of raw gold.
Mrs.Ngugi soiled her name when she confirmed to her husband’s client on phone that they sell genuine gold, when in the real sense she knew the gold was not genuine.
When K24 was informed about the case, they immediately terminated her contract, sending pregnant Ngugi to the street again.
Without her job, salary and the good life she used to enjoy, Ngugi lost friends and some family members. She is now jobless.
