 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.

 Falcons’ Bonuses Fully Paid, $100,000 Presidential Gift Except Few, Apartments In Progress - FG


Director-General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon Bukola Olopade has debunked reports that the Super Falcons have not received their tournament bonuses, insisting that all entitlements have been paid except for a few cases affected by banking issues.


Speaking on Arise News TV’s ‘The Morning Show’ on Friday, Olopade said he had personally confirmed with the team’s captain, Rasheedat Ajibade and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that the players’ bonuses had been settled.


“I have spoken to Ajibade directly and I have in my phone messages between Ajibade and Mallam Shehu Dikko, the chairman of the Sports Commission, where she vehemently denied ever saying their bonuses have not been paid.


“I know authoritatively that all their bonuses, without going into figures, have been paid,” Olopade stated.

“I have confirmed from NFF and I have confirmed from Ajibade, but for only one or two whose accounts have issues with the CBN, all of their monies have been paid in terms of the bonuses.”


The NSC boss said it was misleading to suggest otherwise, adding, “To now say the bonuses have not been paid is not true. I don’t think we should put the young woman (Ajibade) in the predicament of denying or saying she said something she didn’t say, when in the real sense, the money is in their accounts.”
