NASIBO KABALE: Eric Omondi Rescues Former NTV Journalist, Taken To Rehabilitation
Eric Omondi, a self-proclaimed activist and philanthropist, intervened on Friday to help Nasibo Kabale, a former Nation Media Group journalist.
In a brief video, Omondi revealed that the former health reporter had already been evacuated from the streets and received necessary assistance.
The comedian, speaking during a visit to Nasibo’s mother’s home in Jamhuri, Nairobi, revealed that Nasibo had been flown to a health facility in Nairobi and scheduled for rehabilitation.
While providing an update on the situation, Omondi denied claims that the former journalist was homeless and urged Kenyans to be sensitive to the situation.

“As I am speaking to you, Nasibo is safe and has been flown to a rehabilitation centre with the help of the brother,” Eric Omondi detailed.
“She is fine and will be fine but we needed to know what happened because when I saw the video, there were varying stories about her situation.”
The comedian went on to say that the mother had briefed him on the journalist’s situation and urged Kenyans to pray for the former media practitioner.
The victim’s mother expressed similar sentiments, stating that Nasibo was safe.
“She has already been checked in at the rehab and it is just a video that trended but she is okay. She is not homeless, she had a home,” clarified Nasibo’s mother.
This is sad😢Lets hold her up for her daughter

Omondi’s latest move comes just a day after a time-lapse video of the former Nation Media Group journalist on the streets went viral.
Nasibo was shown in the video dressed raggedly, with unkempt hair, and holding a knife, which she claimed she used to mitigate potential threats and hazards.
“Here you must sleep with a knife beside you because anyone can come at night and attack you,” Nasibo told the interviewer.
While recounting her situation, Nasibo revealed that she was diagnosed with depression while working as a health reporter at NMG and that at one point she considered quitting her job and even taking her own life.
“It happened that the company dismissed people from the office but fortunately I was among the five that were retained but the job became challenging after I began witnessing people dying. It disturbed me,” Nasibo narrated.
