I’m shook. Abdalla Sheikh Mohamed Dahir @M_dahir was a victim at the #RiversideAttack and was just positively identified at Chiromo Funeral Home. He worked for Sustainability Fund which had offices at 14 Riverside Drive, Westlands. A brilliant mind. May Allah grant him Jannah. pic.twitter.com/4zZmjnwXnB

The terrorist attack at the up-market mixed-use block on 14th Riverside Drive has claimed 14 lives and injured several others, President Uhuru Kenyatta has said, in an address to the nation.
President Kenyatta confirmed that all terrorists had been killed by the various security agents while condemning the act.
He thanked the security agents for swiftly responding and whisking people to safety.
