Kenyans are in deep shock by the unwarranted attack at 14 Riverside Drive that took place on Tuesday afternoon.
Reports stated that there were four gunmen holding people on the second floor of Dusit Hotel.
A spectator who witnessed the beginning of the attack spoke to us narrating the ordeal.
Daniel Kiragu said, "We heard explosions and everyone was running, running, some were jumping over fences. The gunmen even shot some people at the entrance of the hotel."
Another Kenyan who was caught in the attack narrated the horrifying ordeal.
"Just survived a terror attack at Riverside. Bodies everywhere. Bombs everywhere."
Ron Ng'eno, a PR practitioner took to Twitter and sent out an SOS minutes after the attack took place.
"I am in 14 Riverside drive hiding in a bathroom and we are under attack."
Adding, "There was a massive bombs blast then gunshots, please @USEmbassyKenya @IsraelEmergency HELP SOS."
Ron continued, "I am hiding in a bathroom room ************* terrorist are going room to room HELP @AfricaMediaHub @nytimes @BBCWorld @BBCBreaking."
As a parting shot, Ron prayed:
"If I die I love the Lord and believe I will go to heaven please tell my family I love then I love you Caleb, Mark and Carol."
But Ron has however been rescued by security assets on the ground.
Another Kenyan took to Twitter writing,
"Everyone please RT this. We are stuck in the office in 14 Riverside. There has been a bomb and there are gunmen everywhere. @PolicKE please send help."
