 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.

The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) FCT chapter has congratulated Naija Ratels, after they braced the odds and qualified for 2022 Super six of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL), describing them as the towering and only elite women football club in the nation's capital city.

Naija Ratels, privately-owned club for the first time soared into the country's apex women League after crossing the second tier huddles in 2021, a feat many stakeholders hailed as unprecedented.

In a congratulatory statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, Chairman of SWAN FCT, Mr. Ndubueze Chidoka said the continued victorious attainment of Naija Ratels was a sign of glorious and greater exploits ahead.

"On behalf of the entire Sports Writers particularly within the FCT, I congratulate Naija Ratels for blazing the trail again. NWFL has become very competitive in recent times.

"For Naija Ratels to make it to the top Nigeria's Women's League for the first time ever, yet qualified to play the Super 6, after emerging among the best, the management, officials and players of the club are worthy of commendation.

"We want to mostly commend the founder and financier of the club, Barr. Paul Edeh, for his rare vision and unequalled commitment which has seen team rise and rise. 

"The passion he has for women empowerment is unique. He has been using his hard-earned money to finance this club with over 30 players in a very professional manner, worthy of emulation, without bordering what he gets in return.

"Infact, Abuja fans have started developing interest in the women football Courtesy of top flight football display by Naija Ratels Football Club.

"On our part, we will continue to support the club to achieve more by using our various media outfits to publicize the things they are doing. We also use this medium to beckon on many individuals and corporate organisations to support Naija Ratels because such gesture will help take girls off the street," he said.

The statement also signed by the Secretary, SWAN FCT, Ikenna Okonkwo, noted that the NWFL Super six tournament will be staged later this year in a yet to be announced venue.
