Popular Citizen TV news anchor Lulu Hassan left viewers in stitches after exposing her husband and co-host, Rashid Abdalla, secretly following an English Premier League match right before going live on a national broadcast.
“Wueeeeh msimtag but hivi ndio bestiee aliwatch hii game….🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️ kidogo asisome news.”
Caught Off Guard
The light-hearted moment came as Brighton & Hove Albion ended Arsenal’s perfect start to the Premier League season with a 3-0 victory.
Rashid had previously told Lulu they should stick strictly to supporting local football and ignore matches played abroad. However, Lulu spotted him glued to a screen in the corridor, keeping close tabs on the Gunners’ match before their broadcast.
Rather than confronting him in private, she waited until the cameras rolled for their popular weekend bulletin, Nipashe Wikendi.
“About today’s game, you said we should focus on the Kenyan league; we don’t look at the games abroad. I don’t know what you were doing there.”
Live On Air Reveal
Caught completely off guard, a bewildered Rashid could only reply, “Where?”
Lulu then played the clip for him and viewers nationwide, catching him in the act. She later took the banter to social media, sharing the video with her 1.5 million Instagram followers, where it instantly went viral among sports fans and viewers alike.
Fans React to Studio Humor
Football fans quickly chimed in on the post, especially given Arsenal’s tough afternoon at the American Express Stadium.

Whether on air or on social media, Lulu Hassan and Rashid Abdalla continue to prove why their natural dynamic keeps Kenyan audiences hooked every weekend.
