 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.

 KADUNA PDP SAYS N26M SEIZED CASH IS FOR AGENTS' WELFARE 


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State said the sum of N25.9 million cash seized from one of its members during Saturday’s by-election was meant for the welfare of 5,000 party agents. And not for vote-buying.


Kaduna PDP chairman, Edward Masha, noted that police officers and DSS operatives arrested one Shehu Aliyu Patangi with N25,963,000 along Turunku Road in Kaduna metropolis.


While the police alleged that the huge cash stack was to induce voters and influence their voting choices, Masha said the money was for the welfare of mobilized party agents.


“Let me make it clear that money was for election logistics,” he said.


“We have 169 polling units. We have party agents, supervisors, and collation officers across the three constituencies. Even if you give them N3,000 each, it is over N30 million.


“That is the reality. To now turn around and say it was for vote-buying is mischievous and an insult to the intelligence of Nigerians.”


By-elections took place in three constituencies in Kaduna — Chikun/Kajuru federal constituency, Basawa state constituency, and Zaria/Kewaye state constituency.
