A Nairobi Based Design Company, 23 Marketing has been forced to issue a statement after it was contracted to draw a skull graphic with a gas mask on Dusit terrorist’s vehicle.
The terrorist who attacked innocent people at Dusit complex used a car under registration number (Toyota Ractis) KCN 304E to get to the scene on the day of the attack.
According to a statement issued by 23 Marketing Director Silas Marlone, the car was taken to their facility on December 13th 2018, to be branded with a skull graphic meant to hide a dent on the car.
The Director mentioned that they are not related to the terrorists in any way as they attended to them like any other client.
