Hussein announced his exit stating that he had taken a break to concentrate “on other matters”, promising to resurface soon.
“It has been a wonderful 10 years at Citizen TV. I have enjoyed & relished every moment I shared with my colleagues at RMS. I have decided to take a break after October In Sha Allah to concentrate on other matters. Loved the fans, the critics & everything in between. See you soon,” he wrote.
Hussein held his final show on Tuesday, October 29 where he bid his fans farewell together with his colleagues in a celebration organized by the company.
He however stated that there is no such term as quitting in media hence people will see him around.
