In the modern world right now, it is so hard to come across people with good deeds, people who are selfless and will do just anything to put a smile on the faces of those in need.
Iyanat Kassan has been making headlines since yesterday when the Deadly Dusit attack at Riverside ensued. He is making headlines not for looting properties but for saving lives of Kenyans trapped in the vast Dusit Complex.
On 12th September 2013, Kassam was spotted at Westagate during the now famous Westagate attack that claimed the lives of at least 67 people. Yesterday, he was again at the Dusit D2 hotel to rescue people trapped inside the facility following an attack by armed gunmen believed to be terrorists.
Inayat Kassam is an experienced combatives and shooting instructor, in addition to being an EDA Krav Maga Instructor.
He is certified as an Advanced Tactical Shooting Instructor with ITA, and has also trained with various entities such as SKOPOS, ACT, and AMOK over the course of the last 9 years.
In addition to Scorpio and ITA, Inayat has been involved in community policing within Nairobi for almost two decades.

Meet Sir Inayat Kassam, an experienced combatives and shooting instructor. He was one of the first responders at the scene during the 14 Riverside Drive attack just like he was during the Westgate attack.

If the government was truly serious about honouring actual Kenyan heroes,Inayat Kassam would be top of the list.But instead, we watch in shame as Head of State Commendations are awarded to people for queuing while carrying githeri in polythene bags.#RiversideAttack@BojomMoureen
