 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.

 Governor Soludo Has Used Ordinary Vigilantes To Destroy About 60 Criminal Camps In Anambra ------- Kenneth Okonkwo


Veteran actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has commended Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo for his efforts in tackling insecurity in the state through community-based security initiatives. 


Speaking during an interview on Symfoni TV, Okonkwo praised Soludo’s use of local vigilante groups as an example of effective grassroots security management.


Governor Soludo has used ordinary vigilantes to destroy about 60 criminal camps in Anambra," Okonkwo stated, describing the development as proof that locally driven security structures can succeed where national efforts have failed.


 He emphasized that state and community policing remain crucial for addressing Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.


Okonkwo criticized the federal government for what he called its “slow and reactive approach” to the security crisis, arguing that empowering state governors to handle their internal security would help reduce crime more effectively. He noted that the success in Anambra should serve as a model for other states to emulate.


He also used the opportunity to renew his call for the creation of state police, saying that governors across the country must be given the authority and resources to manage security within their territories. According to him, the continued over-centralization of policing powers in Abuja has made it difficult to respond swiftly to local threats.


Okonkwo added that Governor Soludo’s achievement reflects what can be done when leaders act with courage and vision. He urged the federal government to adopt policies that support similar initiatives across Nigeria, stressing that national security can only be achieved when local communities are empowered to defend themselves.
