Namu also extended his appreciation to his family who withstood the many days he was away from home.
In an unexpected turn of events during his work, Namu recounted a peculiar incident that unfolded one day.
With a mix of humor and candor, Namu shared how he became the unwitting victim of bedbugs while awaiting an interview assignment.
He vividly described the ordeal of being besieged by bedbugs while stationed for an interview. Captured in a candid moment by his colleague Elijah Kanyi, Namu was seen assessing the aftermath, hastily removing his shirt in response to the unwelcome intrusion.
"Sat somewhere and got devoured by bedbugs while waiting for an interview. Elijah Kanyi filmed as I tore off my shirt to inspect damage . Mungu anakuona," Namu said.
'The Last Door' was among the winners at the Kalasha TV and Film awards scooping the award for Best Documentary Feature.
Namu extended gratitude for the steadfast support received during the season while shedding light on a particularly unconventional and uncomfortable encounter.
In the realm of investigative journalism, the quest for truth entails not only uncovering facts but also navigating the unforeseen challenges inherent in the field.
