Word Is called the silver screen siren asking whether she has quit the TV station. A shocked Najma said, "No, far from it. I have just left anchoring. I won't be on the screen anymore. I have not left KTN. I will still be pursuing journalistic endeavors."
Najma added that she is "still doing stories for the All Woman Show" that highlights various gender based successes and issues.
