 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.

 LASG ENGAGES STAKEHOLDERS ON PROPOSED CEMETERY IN BABS ANIMASHAUN, SURULERE


The Lagos State Government has held a stakeholders’ engagement on the proposed establishment of a cemetery along Babs Animashaun Street, Surulere.


The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Oluyinka Olumide, who spoke during the stakeholders' meeting at Eko Club, Surulere, on Tuesday, emphasised the importance of inclusive dialogue in the physical planning process, saying that “it is important to carry everyone concerned along to ensure a balanced review of critical planning proposals.”


Dr Olumide explained that the proposed cemetery was being considered to address the pressing need for a designated final resting place within Surulere, which currently lacked one. 


He added that the initiative was in line with the State Government’s policy of ensuring the equitable distribution of essential infrastructure, such as medical and other critical facilities, across all local government areas.


He further stated that locating the cemetery within the informal space along Babs Animashaun Street was permissible, given the State’s dense population, limited land availability, and adherence to international best practices.


According to him, “Lagos is growing exponentially within a defined land space and requires creativity and collective effort to address its planning needs.” 


He urged stakeholders to consider these factors and give the project a chance objectively, as it would ultimately benefit the entire Surulere Local Government Area.


Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary, Office of Physical Planning, Engr. Oluwole Sotire said that the essence of the engagement was to promote dialogue, address grey areas, and achieve mutual understanding among all parties.


He noted that the project proponents, Legacy Gardens, had revised the proposal to reflect stakeholders’ earlier observations, particularly concerns about underground water contamination, safety, and security.


The Project Manager, Mr. Olumide Amure presented the key features of the proposed cemetery, which included modern management facilities, street lighting, 24-hour security with CCTV surveillance, a strategic drainage system, and a 20-metre setback from surrounding buildings.


Additionally, Tpl. Risikat Bello and Tpl. Sulaiman Raheem made a presentation on the factors guiding the Ministry’s review of the proposal, while stakeholders at the meeting expressed diverse opinions both in support of and against the project.


Another stakeholders' meeting has been fixed to be held in due course to allow for more discussions.
