 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.

Governor Seyi Makinde has extended his condolences to the family of the late Yekini Adeojo, a former gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo State.

Makinde’s condolences came after the burial of Adeojo in Ibadan, the state capital.

Describing the former party man as one of the last men standing, Makinde said Adeojo’s death marked the end of a glorious political era.

This is contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju.

The governor also commiserated with the PDP family in Oyo State, saying, “Baba’s death marks the end of a glorious political era, as he was one of the last great men standing in the state as a political, community and religious leader. He will be greatly missed by the PDP family, where he has been our leader and icon for over two decades.

“His death will also leave a vacuum in our great state and Nigeria because Baba gave his best to serving our state and nation. It is my prayer that God will grant repose to his soul, grant him Aljanah Firdaus and uphold the family he left behind”.

Meanwhile the Chairman, Senate Committee on Electoral Matter, Sharafadeen Alli, in his condolence message, expressed deep sorrow over the demise of Adeojo.

Alli in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas, described Adeojo’s passing as a great loss to Yorubaland, the Muslim Ummah and the nation at large.

The All Progressives Congress, APC lawmaker said Adeojo lived a fulfilled life devoted to the service of Allah, humanity and the nation.

He described the late statesman as a beacon of wisdom and a political colossus, who impacted many lives positively across religious and political divides.

The lawmaker said the late Seriki was respected as a unifying figure whose influence spread beyond politics.

He noted that Adeojo’s deep knowledge of political strategy and Islamic teachings earned him respect across Yorubaland and Nigeria.
