 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.

BENUE POLICE INVADE SEMINAR ON 'WITCHCRAFT BELIEFS, PERSECUTION OF WITCHES', CHASE AWAY ATTENDEES


The Executive Director of Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AfWA), Dr Leo Igwe, has accused the police of invading a seminar venue on “witch persecution” scheduled to be held on Saturday in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

Igwe, who disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, described the action of the police as unacceptable more so when the Commissioner of Police in the state was duly invited for the programme.

He said that all the attendees from various human rights organisations and civil society organisations including from the National Human Rights Commission who had seated were chased out of the venue.

Titled: “Police stop seminar on witch persecution in Makurdi,” the statement partly read: “The police have invaded the venue of the seminar on “witch persecution” to be held today in Makurdi, Benue State. At least 15 police officers who arrived in five vehicles are at the venue, Green Belt Hotel in Makurdi.

“The DPO of the area, Daniel Ezeala, said they had been instructed to stop the meeting and urged every attendee to vacate the venue. Another officer said that they got some intelligence that witches were meeting at the venue.

“AfAW invited the CP to the event. Attendees including delegates from the NHRC and FIDA have been told to leave the premises of the event. Discussion is ongoing to resolve the matter.

“AfAW is embarrassed by this development It is unfortunate that a meeting convened to address human rights abuses linked to witchcraft beliefs is disrupted by law enforcers in Nigeria.”
