 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.

President-Elect Tinubu Mourns Political Associate, Musa Gwadabe

President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed sorrow over the passing of his long-term political associate and elder statesman, Malam Musa Gwadabe.

Gwadabe, a former Minister of Labour and Productivity and one-time Secretary to the Government of Kano State, died on Wednesday in Kano at 87.

Tinubu stated this when he paid a condolence visit to late Gwadabe's family in Kano.

represented by the speaker house of representatives Femi Gbajabiamila said Nigeria has lost a great Nationallist .

"I feel deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Alhaji Musa Gwadabe. A dependable ally and decent politician, Alhaji Gwadabe was a committed party man who did a lot to advance the fortunes of our All Progressives Congress.

"I have known Musa Gwadabe since our struggle against the military during the aborted Third Republic where we both belonged to the Social Democractic Party (SDP). We later reunited in the defunct Action Congress (AC) after he became disenchanted with the undemocratic practices of his former party, the PDP.

"Since rejoining the progressive camp, Alhaji Gwadabe had remained committed to the APC. He played pivotal roles in the transmutation of AC to ACN and the formation of APC in 2013. He was unwavering in his dedication to our party and its ideals.

"He was a principled politician who believed in politics of ideology. Even when other elements with whom he joined the AC invited him to jump the ship back to their former party, he honourably declined and chose to remain in the progressive fold.

"He was a selfless leader and a trustworthy political ally whose wise counsel and support I will dearly miss," the president-elect said.

Tinubu, who prayed for the soul of the late politician, expressed his condolences to the Gwadabe family and the people and government of Kano State over the loss.
