German business software group SAP said all staff working at its office in Nairobi had been brought to safety after an attack by gunmen on a hotel and office complex in the Kenyan capital.

“We have confirmation that all our staff have been accounted for,” a company spokeswoman said in response to a Reuters inquiry.

“The SWAT team on the ground were very efficient and extracted all the employees that were in the building at the time to safety,” she added.
