Kenyan-Born Journalist Kabir Dhanji Sells Gory Images from DusitD2 Terror Attack at Sh50,000 Each through US Company
A Kenyan-born photojournalist, Kabir Dhanji, has reportedly been selling gory photos taken during last Tuesday's terror attack at DusitD2 complex in Nairobi's Westlands area.
The Daily Nation reports that Dhanji, who has worked for some of the renowned international media houses, is selling images of the victims through Getty Images, a visual media company with headquarters in Washington, United States.
The photographer has allegedly posted a total of 175 images from the attack, each selling at Sh50,000.
The sale of the disturbing images comes days after Kenyans on social media attacked The New York Times for publishing sensitive images from the attack.
Some Kenyan social media users even demanded for deportation of The New York Times' correspondent in Kenya, Kimiko de Freytas-Tamura.
The New York Times has refused to pull down the article containing the pictures and also refused to apologize for their actions. The Media Council of Kenya has threatened to take action against the media company.
Dhanji, who holds both Kenyan and Australian citizenship, has previously worked in war tone countries including Somalia, Egypt, and Libya.
