Closed circuit footage captured during the Westgate shopping mall siege along with eyewitness accounts reveal extensive looting by Kenyan soldiers who were tasked with securing the site during the terrorist attack last month, a Kenyan newspaper reports.

According to Kenya’s The Star whose reporters viewed the CCTV footage, three soldiers are seen exiting the Nakumatt supermarket with plastic shopping bags filled with cash.

Just hours after Islamist gunmen entered the upscale mall on Saturday September 21, a soldier is seen on tape at 9:12pm dumping the cash from a cash register into a plastic Nakumatt bag as a fellow soldier holds the bag open. The soldier then moves on to another register which he methodically empties, The Star reports.

Westgate: Death, Destruction and Disappearing of Property

…

I was inside the Westgate mall on Sept. 30th and the day after, helping to clear out our branch store.

The place is in a mess.

Nakumatt is totally bazookaed. Burnt out, cratered in and looks like the U.S. marine barracks bombing in Beirut in 1983.

Bullet holes everywhere…
…

Later on I was supervising the loading of shop goods into the canter, parked at the main Westgate entrance. Two helmeted KDF soldiers man this entrance point. Then two other non-helmeted KDF soldiers came. One was holding a black bag. He put the black bag in between the two helmeted soldiers. The four of them saw me looking at them, so one of them moved in between the two helmeted fellows, trying to block my view of the bag. But I could see it. They took out wallet after wallet from the black bag. They took out phones which they quickly put into their pockets. The KDF army uniform has many pockets. I guess the act of Nazis picking out the gold teeth and jewelry and stuff from dead people is also a Kenyan practice. And the KDF guys looked young and happy. It’s like they had just come out of the house after having a hearty meal.

Back inside, the normal Administrative Police (AP) officers were shamelessly poking into the already cleaned out shelves at the Samsung shop. Trying not to be left out. Armed and uniformed parking boys scavenging. They saw us looking at them but they didn’t care. They knew we were just toothless moon men.

…

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 took over which is 07:03pm to 10:30pm same Saturday night, no gunshots can be heard, it’s 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.
…

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.
