 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.

 Victorious D’Tigress Receives Zenith Bank’s N200m Reward



Renowned sponsors of the Nigeria Women Basketball League, Zenith Bank, has redeemed its pledge of N200m, which was promised to D’Tigress as a reward for emerging champions of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket tournament held in the Ivory Coast, according the reports monitored by the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP).


Recall that the seven-time African champions were received by the financial institution shortly upon arrival from the Ivory Coast, where they successfully defended their trophy, and were subsequently promised the said sum as a reward for making the country proud.


The team posted on its official X account on social media with the words, “Promise made, promise kept. Zenith Bank has redeemed their pledge to the D’Tigress. We extend our sincere gratitude to the management and especially the GMD, Adaora Umeoji, a true pillar for women in sports. Thank you for standing with our Queens.”


The coach Rena Wakama-led side underwent a flawless campaign at AfroBasket 2025, where they were unbeaten in all six games played, having defeated Rwanda 92-45 in their opener before edging Mozambique 60-55 to book their place in the last-eight.


The West Africans overpowered Cameroon in the quarter-finals, before seeing off the challenge of Senegal in the semi-finals and Mali 78-64 in the final at Abidjan to win a fifth consecutive AfroBasket title and a seventh continental crown overall, following previous successes in 2003, 2005, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2025.


The financial institution has been at the forefront of women’s basketball development in the country, having been the title sponsor of the national women’s league for the past 18 years.
