One Year On, Ruhila Adatia Sood’s Legacy Still Lingers On

 

It is almost exactly one year on since the Westgate Mall Massacre, wounds that terrorists allied to the Alshaabab militia group healing steadily but scar still fresh and hearting.

Kenyans and the world were shell-shocked by the happenings that fateful morning. It was one of the darkest days that befell this republic.

The showbiz industry was hit as well. It was actually hit so hard. Ruhila Adatia Sood, one of Kenya’s most talented TV and radio voices was a victim of the circumstances. She lost her life to the bullet of an insurgent.

One year on, her sweet melodious voice stills rings in her followers’ minds. Those days in Kiss 100 and Metro East FM studios as a presenter are missed.

Not only was Adatia a media darling but also a very philanthropic individual who died while hosting a cooking competition for kids. It also appalls big time remembering that Adatia was six months pregnant on her demise.

Even as we celebrate the heroes of the Westgate Mall Tragedy and mourn those who left us, their legacy still lingers on amongst us, and so does Adatia’s, strongly.
