Citizen TV anchor Willis Raburu made his return to TV on Monday, February 3, after taking a month off to deal with the loss of his child.
In a video seen by Kenyans.co.ke, the anchor known for his pomp and grandeur runs back into the screen during a live recording and makes it known that he is back on air.
"Wagwan my people, niko ndani (I'm back). It is Monday and what a beautiful way to kick off February," announced the anchor before veering off to converse on the football segment of the morning show, Day Break.
Looking directly into the camera, the cheerful media personality thanked his supporters who had sent him messages during his trying moment.
"It is good to be back. I thank all of you guys who have been sending your messages, I thank you. May God bless you but for now, we are back to work," announced Raburu before dabbing.
On Friday, January 3, the anchor took a break from his roles as Day Break and 10 Over 10 host to mourn with his wife, Marya Prude, following the loss of their daughter who was stillborn.
Willis and Marya were expecting their first baby after being married for 3 years.
"I want to thank you all for the support during this time for the comfort and love," Raburu wrote to his closest friends.
On his social media pages, the anchor heaped praise on his colleagues who stood by him, lauding them for their timely intervention in assisting his family to find peace as they mourned their daughter.
"I am therefore going to be taking a short break from work and my duties at Hot 96, Citizen TV and 10 Over 10 to allow for my wife and I to get through the motions.
"While I am away several people will be holding for me, the shows will go on. I want to thank them in advance for heeding the abrupt call to action. I want to say thank you for those in the know who continue to lift my wife and me in prayer and ask that you continue to do so up until the time," Raburu expressed his gratitude at the time.
