Steve Mbogo created an uproar on social media after he showed up at the Dusit D2 during the terrorist attack on Tuesday 15th.
Right after on Wednesday he was summoned at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations where he was grilled for hours by police over gun possession, and asked to verify the ownership of his gun.
The slay politician defended himself saying he is a licensed gun holder and he was there to provide help and assistance after he heard of the Dusit attack after all he was a victim of the Westgate attack and he knows the trauma associated with it.
Well the Self proclaimed leader of Resistance Movement Miguna Miguna tweeted saying that Steve Mbogo is a criminal and should be arrested.
Steve Mbogo is a known drug dealer. It matters to all law abiding citizens of Kenya that he was at Dusit D2 Hotel wielding an automatic weapon and wearing a bullet proof vest during the alleged attack – just like other drug dealers do in Colombia. #RiversideAttack https://t.co/fHi7JjNpuu

In a further tweet he added saying that, No civilian is legally permitted to own automatic weapons, nor are they legally allowed to roam around the City with them.
No civilian is legally permitted to own automatic weapons, nor are they legally allowed to roam around the City with them. Civilians cannot don bullet-proof vests in public. Lastly, being a licensed gun owner does not make one a police officer. Steve Mbogo is a criminal. pic.twitter.com/ozg9Jw9UrP

While responding to Miguna Miguna’s tweet, Mbogo said, “Today, If I was in any illegal business like he said I was carrying guns like drug dealers in Colombia. The police would be after me even before (Dusit attack). In his mind, he did not take time to research and find out that Mbogo is a licensed gun owner and he is there to assist.”
Dubious individuals like Steve Mbogo rushed to Dusit D2 Hotel with automatic weapons after the purported terror attack yet they are not police officers. Civilians like Mbogo should not be allowed to CONTAMINATE crime scenes unless the alleged attack was staged. #RiversideAttack
