 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

Documents establishing the alleged offence against the defendant were tendered through the witness and admitted in evidence by the court.At the resumed sitting today, Ibrahim Isiyaku, SAN, representing Senator Abdul-Aziz Nyako and Zulkifikk Abba (second and fourth defendants respectively) and Y. C Maikyau, SAN, representing ‎Abubakar Aliyu (third defendant) sought leave of the court for the international passports of their clients to be released to them, to enable them travel abroad to see their families and perform their religious rites.Justice Abang, in a bench ruling opined that “the three applications before the court deserve to succeed as the defendants have always attended their trial and have not done anything to delay their trial”.
“The Chief registrar of this court shall release their international passports to enable them travel to Saudi Arabia to perform their religious rites. They shall return on or before September 30, 2018 and deposit their international passport till the end of their trials”, the judge ruled.
Nyako is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, alongside his son, Senator Abdul-Aziz Nyako, Abubakar Aliyu and Zulkifikk Abba on a 37-count charge of criminal conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money laundering to the tune of N29billion.Five companies that allegedly served as conduit pipes for the illegal diversion of the funds - Blue Opal Limited, Sebore Farms & Extension Limited, Pagoda Fortunes Limited, Tower Assets Management Limited and Crust Energy Limited, were equally charged before the court as the 5th to 9th defendants.
