Lulu Hassan Warns Schools about Fraudsters Using Sultana Cast for Scams

Lulu Hassan, a popular Citizen TV Swahili anchor, recently took to Instagram to dissociate herself from a group she identified as Vic Wold Event.

In her post, Lulu clarified that neither she nor her husband’s company, which produces the popular TV show Sultana, have any engagements with the group.

The post included a photo of a poster purporting to be Sultana cast mentoring children, with Lulu warning schools to avoid engaging with the group. She also warned the public to beware of anyone claiming to represent her or her husband’s company, Jiffy Pictures, and asking for money to mentor kids.

Netizens reacted to Lulu’s post, with many expressing concerns about the rise of such frauds in Kenya. One user wrote, “This is what’s going on in Kenya poor, learned people unemployed are out conning innocent souls to provide for families, the same way hacking accounts, phone No’s and stealing from people, has become a means of employment, but it all well we can’t stop coz the victims are unknown. Be keen and aware of every technique of stealing.”

In a separate incident, President William Ruto’s daughter Charlene recently warned Kenyans against falling for online cons purporting to be her. Charlene took to her official Twitter to caution job seekers being conned to send money in return for jobs. She pointed out that she would never ask for money from anyone to give them a job, meet them, or give them anything.

Both Lulu and Charlene’s warnings serve as important reminders to the public to be vigilant against scammers and to verify the authenticity of any claims made by individuals or groups.
