Citizen TV’s Reporter Breaks down after Brother is rescued from Westgate Mall (Photo)

Saturday afternoon as Westgate Mall came under siege from Al-Shabaab militia, local and international media houses alike camped outside the upscale mall to bring you up to speed with the latest from the attack.

One of the media houses present was Citizen TV which was aptly represented by its meticulous reporter, Jacque Maribe. While she put on a brave face to bring you up to date with the goings-on, deep inside she was a distraught lady as his brother was trapped inside the mall and even tweeted asking for prayers.

“Please pray for my bro @kismamaribz who is still inside Westgate as I’m here reporting and not breaking down.”

Anthony Maribe was one of the Kenyans held hostage in the mall but was luckily released. The politics and current affairs reporter could not hold back her tears when she finally received the news.
