 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.

The Lagos State Police Command has arraigned a staff member of Lekki Gardens Estate Limited, Tairu Damilola, for allegedly stealing copper cable wires valued at N500,000 belonging to his employer.

According to the police, the incident occurred on 27 August 2025 at the company’s premises in Osborne Foreshore Estate, Ikoyi.

Damilola was allegedly caught while attempting to leave the estate with a bag containing the stolen cables.

Security guards on duty reportedly stopped him for a search, discovered the items, and immediately alerted the Dolphin Estate Police Division.

Following investigations led by Inspector Adeyi Onyenche and his team, the 32-year-old suspect, who resides on Oladipupo Oladimeji Street, Okearo, Ogun State, was charged before the Igbosere Magistrate’s Court sitting at Tinubu, Lagos Island.

Prosecution counsel Reuben Solomon told the court that the defendant betrayed the trust of his employer by attempting to steal company property.

He noted that the alleged offence contravenes Section 287 of the Lagos State Criminal Law, 2015, which prescribes penalties for stealing.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge. Presiding magistrate, Mrs N. Oseni Wahab, granted him bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.

She ordered that he be remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre pending the fulfilment of his bail conditions.

The case was adjourned to a later date for further mention.
