On May 11, 2020, former Citizen TV news anchor Joey Muthengi's Instagram account was compromised, forcing her to start anew.
According to Muthengi, her account was hacked, and she warned her fans not to engage with any suspicious messages or offers on her behalf.
'Hey friends, it appears my account has been compromised/hacked. Please do not agree to any seemingly lucrative deals on my behalf. I will open a new account soon. I hope you will follow me there. All the hugs,' she announced.
She also wished the hacker well, saying, 'Whoever you are, you won. I hope this helps you sleep at night. Take the account, I pray it brings you Coro..I mean… happiness. I will not ever pay a bribe for that which is mine …not in this lifetime.'
Muthengi left Citizen TV in 2018, where she hosted the popular show '10 over 10.'
