Flamboyant businessman and former starehe constituency aspirant Steve Mbogo has been arrested.
Mbogo whose pictures filled the social media on tuesday 3:00pm after the Dusit ,14 riverside park in Nairobi .
City politician Steve Mbogo’s presence and dressing at the 14 Riverside office park during the suspected terror attack left many Kenyans with questions.
The former Starehe constituency aspirant was pictured in a bullet proof vest while holding a G3 rifle.
It was not clear what why the politician was allowed at the scene where hundreds of officers from the Kenya Army, the GSU, and the Recce squad had swarmed the compound.
The former Starehe parliamentary aspirant added on to the stir caused by a huge crowd that gathered outside the scene of attack.
Mbogo later told eDaily that he was at Dusit in his capacity as a licensed civilian gun holder.
“I am a licensed firearms holder. I was running my errands near the dusitD2 Hotel here in Nairobi, when I learnt that the facility was under a terror attack. Because I was in a position to help, given I have good knowledge on how to handle firearms and protect myself against such situations, I went in to help in the rescue operations,” he said.
He could not, however, answer how he acquired the bullet proof vest and the high-calibre assault rifle that is the preserve of security forces.
“I am still occupied with rescue operations. Let me take cover and then I will speak to you later.” the news site quoted him.

I condemn this heinous attack. However I will not accept any blame as Somali. Why do I have to apologise as a Somali for what Alshabaab does? They kill daily Somalis in Somalia, and yet you want to blame Somalis? Show Kenyans The other Side Of what KDF is committing human rights crimes in Juba Somali?

Iran Has Right to Develop Missile Program: Russian Deputy FM
There is no reason to criticize Iran’s moves to develop its missile program, Ryabkov told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday, according Russian local reports.
The Russian deputy foreign minister said launching satellites should be distinguished from ballistic missiles aimed at destroying targets, as technologies used in them are totally different, Interfax reported.
“Iran is never doing an action contradicting international regulations when it tests its missiles”, Ryabkov reiterated, adding that Resolution 2231 has not considered any ban on using ballistic missiles’ technologies for Iran and it has only demanded that Tehran should avoid launching missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
“All the experts know that satellite carriers and non-nuclear surface-to-surface ballistic missiles are different structurally from missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads,” the Russian deputy foreign minister said.
“Therefore, criticizing Iran for its missile program is wrong and we know it is an irresponsible move, as it leads the global community astray purposefully and knowingly.”
Iranian officials have time and again underscored that none of the country’s missiles have been designed to be capable of carrying nuclear warheads, because nuclear weapons have basically no place in Iran’s defense doctrine.
Iran on Tuesday launched a domestically-built satellite into space with an aim to collect environmental information to boost the country’s forecasting system; however, technical problems that occurred during the final stage of the launch prevented the spacecraft from reaching orbit.
