 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.

 Poland says students arrested in Nigeria have been released


A group of Polish students who were arrested in Nigeria have been released, the foreign ministry in Warsaw said on Wednesday.


Nigeria said earlier this month that it had arrested seven Polish nationals for raising Russian flags during anti-government protests in the northern state of Kano, Reuters reported.


Following their arrest, a Polish foreign ministry spokesperson rejected the accusation that they were waving the flags and said they were merely in the vicinity of the protest.


"The Polish students have been released and are in Kano," the Polish foreign ministry said in a post on social media platform X. "Thank you to everyone involved in the release of the Polish citizens!"


Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians had been protesting since Aug. 1 against President Bola Tinubu's painful economic reforms that have seen a partial end to fuel and electricity subsidies, currency devaluation and inflation touching three-decade highs.


Some protesters waved Russian flags during protests in northern states, underscoring concerns about increased Russian activity in western Africa.
