Investigative journalist, Franklin Wallah, who initially headed K24’s crime and investigations desk was on Monday, September 2, attacked by six armed assailants.
Wallah had just resigned from K24 to join Standard Media Group's KTN.
He took to social media to narrate the horrifying ordeal, where he was trailed and attacked on his way home.
“So today I celebrated a new move for my hard work in life. Just after work, a group of armed men (6), have trailed me up to my place."
Just when I was about to get home, they robbed me at knife point (plus other crude weapons), took my two phones, a watch, and some money,” posted Wallah.
The journalist, however, confirmed that he escaped unharmed.
“I pity them for what they have done for they know not. All in all, I thank the Almighty God, for I escaped unhurt and life is going on, I was offline for some time.,” he wrote on.
Wallah resigned from K24 a month go after his last assignment that was based in Somalia.
Barely a month since he resigned, Wallah will be part of KTN's investigative desk headed by Hussein Mohammed, and will work to revamp the desk with the likes of Brian Obuya, Siraj Abdulrahman who was also at K24TV.
Credible sources at KTN cited that Wallah was coming on board with a new investigative program, 'Jasusi sugu', that will dwell on crime and other issues of interest.
