 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.

He said that the gunmen attacked a community known as Balma, killing one person and abducting three others, including two community leaders, late on Saturday.


Wakil said the two community leaders were a village head in Balma community and a ward head in the Bakutumbu community.


The spokesman said that the command had on Sunday received a report from its Balma outpost that gunmen had attacked the village.


“They shot sporadically and took away the village head, Alhaji Hussaini Saleh, who is 48 years old,” he said.


Wakil said that the village head was abducted alongside one Idris Mai Unguwa and another man named Ya’u Gandu Maliya, who is 45 years old.


He said, “One Haruna Jibrin was, however, shot in the head by the gunmen.


“When the police received the distress call, a team was drafted to the scene, they rescued the victim and rushed him to General Hospital, Ningi where he was receiving treatment but was later confirmed dead.


“At present, the police in Ningi Division are combing the bush, trying to see how they can rescue the two abducted community leaders alive.”


The spokesman appealed to citizens to always provide information on suspicious movements of people to security agencies for immediate action.
