 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.

Niger: Military Intervention An ECOWAS Affair, Says Presidential Aide

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, has said that the announced planned military intervention against the Niger coup leaders is purely an affair of the Economic Community of West African States and not a decision of President Bola Tinubu or Nigeria.

Ajayi disclosed this in a statement shared on X app formerly known as Twitter on Friday.

He wrote, "There is no doubt that the Northern region,  especially the people of Fulani ethnic stock share filial, cultural and religious affiliations with the Republic of Niger. 

"The attempt by some religious and political leaders from the North to make the current political impasse in the Republic of Niger a President Tinubu and Nigeria vs Niger affair is a very wrong narrative. Nigeria is not starting a war with Niger. Nigeria as a member of ECOWAS is under obligation to stand by ECOWAS Resolutions on any member state and this is not the first time this will happen. ECOWAS passed similar Resolutions on the Gambia not too long ago. That resolution in Gambia made it possible for President Adama Barrow to assume power in 2017.

"It must be said again that this is not a Nigeria/Tinubu vs Republic of Niger matter. Like President Alassane Quattara of Ivory Coast said, this is purely an ECOWAS affair and a subject of regional interest to the whole of West Africa. 

"ECOWAS, AU, and UN Protocols are against the unconstitutional takeover of government in any country. Democracy is receding in West Africa with Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea under military usurpation. Peace, security, and political and economic stability in West Africa will remain a pipe dream when soldiers can take power at will. And what is happening in Niger is not about a fight for good governance. 

"Like venerable journalist, Dan Agbese wrote in his Guardian Newspaper back page column, "most of the nine countries in the Sahel region are not just poor; they are wretched. Military rule has not changed their economic and social circumstances and the attraction for it ought to have waned below remembrance. The sentiment that military rule is a magic wand has repeatedly proved itself a sickening fiction. The Nigeriens need no one to tell them that khaki uniform carries no magic in political, economic, and social management and development."

"If military rule offers any silver bullet in social and economic transformation, we should have seen the magic in Mali and Burkina Faso in the last 3 years."
