The tragic events that unfolded on the 15th of January 2019 represent a sobering testament to the bravery and resilience of those who responded.

On January 15, 2019, at precisely 14:30, a horrifying attack commenced at a hotel complex in Nairobi. Initial reports indicated the attack, marked by gun fire and two explosions within the vicinity of the DusitD2 Nairobi.

Carried out by five assailants who arrived in two vehicles. One of these attackers entered Secret Garden restaurant discreetly and detonated an explosive device. The remaining assailants forcibly compelled security personnel to open the gates of 14 Riverside Drive.

In response to this grave threat, the Recce company, the specialized anti-terrorism division of the Kenya Police Force, specifically the General Service Unit, was swiftly deployed to confront the militant attack.

Among the heroes who emerged during this harrowing ordeal, we must acknowledge a masked British SAS operator, Christian Craighead, who happened to be in the country for training purposes, and helped stop the attackers.

Craighead conducted floor-by-floor clearances of office and car park buildings, displayed remarkable courage by calling out to hostages who were hiding within. Craighead was escorting groups of hostages and aiding the wounded, all while facing relentless gun fire from the attackers.

His selfless actions earned him the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross, a testament to his extraordinary heroism. These events remind us of the unwavering commitment of individuals and law enforcement agencies to protect lives in the face of adversity.

We’ve missed you Mr. Talking Balaclava…

The fact he did that single handedly while dragging around quite possibly the biggest set of bollox a man has ever had is nothing short of amazing

The silent professional culture of the SAS is very important because it ensures that you get individuals who are willing to risk their lives for others because it is the right thing to do. NOT for any fame or reward.

Kenyan here🇰🇪🇰🇪
Just completed training at the youth service paramilitary academy, hoping to move on to the military academy
Christian Craighead is a big inspiration for me, I wanna be among the people who can protect my people rather than waiting on allied professionals to help
The topic is also near and dear to my heart

[gratefulguy]

The man, the myth, the legend.. and also Obiwan Nairobi.

You started my night vision rabbit hole for nocturn industries and now I’m picking up my own nods from them this week. Your sponsorship worked on at least 1 person

Obi-Wan Nairobi is now and will forever remain a legend of Special Operations. His story, and the stories of others like him, stoke the imaginations of future Special Operators and cause consternation among wanna be terrorists. The Kenyans that survived the attack that day will tell stories of the Brit that dared and won for years to come.

Reading about Christian Craighead in 2019 turned my life around. I started working out and training regularly. His example resonated with me far more than any American Seal or servicemember. The Kingsman mentality turned my soy life around.

Good evening from Nairobi. Great job covering this hero. He sure stirred a lot of interest in the SAS amongst us Kenyans. Especially the likes of me who were interested in whatever setup he was running. Made our GSU(Kenyan equivalent of SWAT) look under-equipped the day his photo went viral.

After watching the interview Christian Craighead had with Garand Thumb, it really makes more sense why he did what he did that day. Since day one this man is a warrior, it's in his blood. I didn't even know about him until a year ago and now he's someone that I look up to whenever I have a difficult time or choice ahead of me. Choosing to do right can be difficult for the majority, but he went above and beyond to rescue those in harm's way that day. Really appreciate and enjoyed this video. You're always putting out great content!

Christian Craighead single handedly raised sig optics stock values by 10 percent with one easy trick

Dude saved lives. It is also important to note how fast Kenyan first responders got there. Compared to the westgate attack, this response was beautiful. Great video Admin results

A few extras on the rifle. The rifle is re-designated the L119A2 when purchased by the UK army. The Ergo grip comes with a unique stippling not commonly available on the civilian market made specially for the UK SF. The rear sling loop often is sawn off and they attach it to the butt stock. They also often saw and grind off the charging handle extension on the left side so it doesn't hang up on their gear. The rifle also has extra waterproofing done and so the gas pods ride even higher than usual making it even hotter under heavy use on the hand guard.

"All it take for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing " when I first heard that saying, it hit me so hard I had it tattooed on my chest as a reminder to always do good .

Obi Wan Nairobi-AKA Christian Craighead. Probably the most stylish man to ever kill terrorists.

The SAS and SBS are the very best fighting units in the world, by far.
Their stories are incredible and inspiring.
