The most recognizable entertainment news voice, Ruhila Adatia, is no more. She was among the over 50 people who were shot dead at Westgate Mall in Nairobi on Saturday.
Ruhila presented entertainment news at East FM, Kiss FM, and Kiss TV.
Clad in a black top and black trousers, Ruhila was hosting a children’s cooking show at the rooftop parking, for East FM.
She kept posting updates on her twitter handle @Ruhila and on Instagram. She posted a total of 8 photos from Westgate.
As soon as word of the shooting broke out, her friends and colleagues sent their goodwill messages, all hoping she was well.
Lord please watch upon my colleagues Kamal Kaur, Ruhila Adatia and others held hostage in the Westgate mall siege.

May God rest her soul in eternal peace.
These were her last photos on Instagram, and basically her last social media activity.
