Police are currently using the available CCTV footage to reconstruct the scenes to find out what really happened. According to the already reviewed scenes,only four attackers are captured and this goes to refute the initial claims by the government that there were between 10-15 attackers inside.
At around 01:03pm the attackers armed with AK-47 are seen entering with two using the main entrance and shooting randomly us they go upstairs.
Another group of two can be seen entering through the parking lot and shooting randomly as well.
The footage exposes and confirms all the Kenyans fears that the military men engaged in heavy looting. Initially Recce squad an elite class from the GSU who had secured and continued to push further the terrorists were replaced by the KDF.
The first soldier to step foot inside is captured at 07:08pm Saturday night.
On the same night at 09:12pm three of KDF soldiers whose faces are exposed since didn't have their helmets are seen emptying the cashier boxes of the Nakumatt counters into plastic bags and walked away with the heavy loot,unaware that the CCTV was rolling and captured every moment and movement.
From the time that the KDF too over which is 07:03pm to 10:30pm same Saturday night,no gunshots can be heard,its this time that the military could have possibly been looting the mall,banks safes,casino,ATMs,bars,phone and electronic shops,jewelery and all but bata shop were heavily looted.
The cameras at 10:32pm shows the four attackers cliched into a corner looking shaken and terrified. One of them is seen injured on the leg and limps around on the second floor.
He us quickly helped by a counterpart who uses a handkerchief to wipe off the blood and give him first aid.
At this point they are seen praying but in turns,the three prays as one keeps vigil with the gun pointed at the door ready to shoot. One of them on completion,notices the CCTV camera and slides it away. From their the shooting resumes once again.
Amateur videos shot from the inside showing the extent of looting,how the soldiers went on a drinking spree at the art cafe  are already going viral.
The review comes at a time when the KDF are being condemned both by businessmen and the world for their looting act. So far several officers have been caught with items looted from the mall.
Between 07:03pm-10:30pm nothing useful was happening,the soldiers were looting while the terrorists were regrouping in the second floor. The battle would have then continue for three more days.
If they would have moved with the same pace as Recce who had secured 70% of the building by 07:03pm then we could have been talking about something else.
