After a very difficult 24 hours, where Kenyans watched in horror as another terror attack unfolded at the Dusit Hotel, the country has found a way to heal. And what better way than to take on the #SteveMbogoChallenge?
Mbogo took photos and videos of the scene, sharing them on social media.In one video clip, he is seen walking around the scene and talking about the direction the gunmen took during the raid.Kenyans on the platforms criticised him for his actions, saying he was not offering much help
Others said he was only after the publicity that came with the goings-on at Dusit complex.The national government had earlier cautioned against sharing photos of the attack.

You know what, I need this. The past 24 hours have been crazy stressful, and we're due for some laugh to at-least ease the pain. #WeShallOvercome #KenyaUnbowed pic.twitter.com/qTY75zCyhf

He had a semi-automatic rifle and was in a bulletproof vest.Speaking to a local TV station, Mbogo said he wanted to help the rescue workers.“I am a licensed firearms holder, I was running my errands near the DusitD2 Hotel 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.”
