An NTV anchor abandoned a prime time news bulletin on Friday night.
Edmond Nyabola later explained that he had to step aside from the 9pm News over a cold that had overwhelmed him.
In an announcement just 18 minutes into the bulletin, the eloquent anchor announced that he was unable to continue with the news.
He handed it over to Mark Masai.
"Unfortunately, I'm not able to continue with NTV Weekend tonight so Mark Masai will be coming with the rest of the broadcast," announced Nyabola before the bulleting took a commercial break.
On June 22, seasoned K24 Swahili presenter Isabella Kituri also took the audience by surprise after she experienced a labour scare right in the middle of presenting news.
The incident happened during the 7pm news forcing her co-anchor Franklin Wambugu to abruptly call for a short commercial break
Isabella later took to social media to explain to her followers that what she experienced were false contractions known as Braxton Hicks, while complimenting her co-host at the same time for keeping it level headed during the false scare.
“Nkt!This crazy guy called Braxton Hicks… visits pregger mums as a falsified labour agent… Franklin Wambugu was ready to wheelbarrow me out of the studio,” she posted.
The moment seemed reminiscent of the time in 2015, when former Citizen TV News anchor Janet Mbugua pranked her co-host Hussein Mohamed by pretending to be in labour during their Monday Special show.
Below is the video of news anchor Edmond Nyabola during the 9pm bulletin:
