A video clip emerged showing how a suicide bomber blew himself up at dusitD2 on January 15, 2019.
Abdullahi Ogelo is the man in a cap seen walking past the bomber just before the explosion. In a television interview, he revealed that he had no idea of what was happening
Ogelo said he was going on with his daily routine at the premises and was going to meet his friends when he unsuspectingly walked past the terrorist.“When I walked past him I could hear him argue on phone.
He seemed to be asking where the rest of his colleagues were and his hand was moving over his chest,” Ogelo said during an interview with a local TV station.
Ogelo is perhaps the last man to see the attacker. After the bomber blows up, a crowd is seen rushing outside through the smoke from the explosion.
Ogelo said that contrary to what people are saying on social media; that he ran after seeing the terrorist, nothing of the sort happened.“I just jumped onto a staircase located beside the restaurant… I heard a loud bang and I knew I had to run for my dear life,” he recalled.
Meanwhile Police believe that Violet Kemunto, the bride to suspect Ali Salim Gichunge alias Farouk, escaped to Somalia.
The couple’s plan was that the bride would first go to Somalia and her husband would soon follow after the attack was completed but that was not to be since he was shot dead.
