 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.

 Police arrest kidnappers who killed victim after collecting N200,000 ransom


Operatives of the Edo State Police Command have arrested five suspected kidnappers over the alleged killing of an abducted victim, Smart Nwashiri, 29, after collecting N200,000 ransom.


The Commissioner of Police, Funsho Adegboye disclosed this while parading the suspects before newsmen in Benin City.


Adegboye gave the names of the suspects as Goodluck Ojieh, 37, (gang leader), Lucky Enagbonmien, 37, Victory Okoro, 32, Sunday Ernest, 32, and Daniel Udi, 29.


He said the suspects committed the crime in Ologbo community in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, near Benin City.


The commissioner told newsmen that the suspects, who hail from Delta State but reside in Edo State, lured the victim into their hideout on the pretence of selling vehicle parts to him.


He said the suspects were tracked and arrested in Delta State after a high-driven investigation.


“The victim was lured on June 17, 2024, by the gang leader to a location at the Ologbo area where the other gang members were waiting, on the pretext that they wanted to sell a vehicle catalyst (aka “Indomie”) to him.


“The victim has been a serial receiver of this item and other stolen items from the suspects,” he said.


The CP said the suspects conspired, kidnapped the victim, and demanded a ransom of N1 million but ended up collecting N200,000 before using a dagger to kill him.


He added that they later buried the victim in a shallow grave, in a bid to cover their crime.


Adegboye said the corpse and motorcycle of the murdered victim have been recovered.


He added that the suspects have confessed to the crime, noting that they would be charged in court as soon as the investigation is concluded.


In an interview with journalists, the gang leader said they decided to kill the victim to avoid being caught because the man knew them.
