 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.

 GOV. ALIA LIFTS SUSPENSION ON THREE BENUE OFFICIALS 


1st September, 2025 | 7:13 PM 


The Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, has lifted the suspension placed on three public office holders in the state following a decision by the State House of Assembly to reverse its earlier resolution.


The affected officials are Maxwell Ogiri, Executive Chairman of Otukpo Local Government Area; Grace Adagba, Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB); and Michael Uper, Executive Secretary of the Benue State Lottery Commission.


Governor Alia had initially upheld the Assembly’s resolution suspending the officials. However, following recent leadership changes, the lawmakers revisited the matter and called on the governor to lift the suspension.


In a statement on Monday, the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, confirmed that Alia had acknowledged the Assembly’s latest decision and lifted the suspension accordingly.


“In compliance with the resolutions of the House, His Excellency hereby directs the immediate reinstatement of the affected officials.


“He reaffirms his respect for the constitutional roles of the legislature and reiterates his administration’s resolve to continue working harmoniously with all arms of government in the collective pursuit of peace, progress, and good governance in Benue State.


“He charges the reinstated officers to rededicate themselves to their duties, uphold the highest standards of accountability, and work diligently in the interest of the people.


“He appreciates the understanding and support of the people of Benue State and assures them of his continued commitment to building a transparent, responsive, and people-centered administration”, the statement added.
