 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.

 RAMADAN: SANWO-OLU PREACHES SACRIFICE, PEACE, HARMONY


•Urges Muslims, Christians to be compassionate during fasting season

 


Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has extended his warm felicitations to all Muslim faithful as they commence the holy month of Ramadan on Saturday. 


Governor Sanwo-Olu, who described Ramadan as a sacred month and a time for deep reflection, renewed faith, and acts of kindness, urged Nigerians, particularly Lagos residents, to be compassionate and generous to one another during the fasting season.


The Governor said the commencement of the Muslim fasting season, which started on March 1, coinciding with the first day of a new month, and Christians’ Lenten season, which starts from Wednesday, March 5, is a double coincidence and therefore urged people to live in peace and harmony.


 

He said: "Ramadan Kareem to all our Muslim brothers and sisters. This sacred month is a time for deep reflection, renewed faith, and acts of kindness. May your fasting and prayers bring you peace, prosperity, and abundant blessings.


"As we embrace the values of compassion, unity, and generosity, let us uplift one another and extend love to those in need. Lagos is a home for all, and in this season of devotion, we pray for continued progress and harmony in our state and beyond."


Governor Sanwo-Olu, who was the Chief Host at the Special Ramadan Prayer held at the Lagos House Mosque Ground, Ikeja, on Friday evening, urged Lagosians to ensure that "the period of the season reflects in our relationship among ourselves."


He said: "Ramadan is a period of holiness. It is a period in which people need to admonish and encourage themselves in their faith. It is a period where people are in constant conversation with God.


 

"As a people, we need to continue to ensure that we live in the peace and harmony that Lagos is known for. This is a time that we all need to come together in prayers and supplications. It is a time for us to do the right thing."


Governor Sanwo-Olu also noted that "coincidentally, March 1 is the first of a new month, and Christian faithful will also start their fasting next week Wednesday (March 5). So, we all need to live in peace and harmony.


"Let the period of the season reflect in our relationship among ourselves. Let the essence of the season be what holds us together as a people by doing our very best at all times."
