Fred Indimuli
Yeri parted ways with KBC, days after KTN poached his colleague Fred Indimuli. Indimuli was among renowned news anchors who joined KBC during their much hyped re-launch in July 2021. However, he only stayed with the State Broadcaster for two months before KTN came calling.
Indimuli joined KTN, as Ben Kitili’s replacement after he (Kitili) was poached by Nation Media Group owned station NTV.
