 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.

 Rivers Elders Urge Unity as Emergency Rule Ends, Commend Fubara, Wike, and Tinubu


The Rivers State Elders Council has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, and the State House of Assembly, led by Rt. Hon. Martins Amaewhule, to work harmoniously as they resume their constitutional duties following the end of the emergency rule in the state. The council urged all stakeholders to embrace peace and reconciliation to prevent a recurrence of the political crisis that led to the emergency declaration.


In a statement titled *‘End of Emergency Rule: Let’s Unite for the Peace and Progress of Our Dear State,’* issued on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, the council’s chairman, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, emphasized the need for unity and focus on the development of the oil-rich state. He warned against inflammatory statements or actions that could reignite tensions, urging those harboring grudges to prioritize the state’s interests.


The elders commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for his pivotal role in brokering peace between the conflicting parties. They also praised Governor Fubara and the House of Assembly for their commitment to reconciliation, noting their agreement to move past differences during talks facilitated in Abuja. The council highlighted the parties’ reaffirmation of peace before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing the vow as “sacrosanct.”


“We urge all stakeholders to embrace the peace and reconciliation that has now returned to our dear state,” the statement read. “The Governor and the House of Assembly must work together without distractions to sustain peace, unity, and development in Rivers State.”


The council expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his proactive intervention, which they said averted a potential disaster in the state. They also lauded Wike for his “large heart” in mediating the reconciliation process and ensuring direct communication with the President. The elders described Tinubu’s resolution of the crisis as a testament to his goodwill toward Rivers State, assuring him of the continued support of its people as his administration pursues the Renewed Hope Agenda.


The council also acknowledged the patience and understanding of Rivers State residents during the emergency rule, calling it a demonstration of faith in Tinubu’s leadership. They urged all parties to honor the reconciliation agreements and work collaboratively for the state’s progress.
