 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.

 Former Abia Governor Ikpeazu Praises Deputy Speaker Kalu for Loyalty During Challenging Tenure


Former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has highlighted the Nigerian Army's Operation Python Dance, the #EndSARS protests, and the COVID-19 pandemic as among the most difficult challenges he faced during his eight-year administration.


Ikpeazu made the remarks on Friday during a New Year courtesy visit by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, to his country home in Umuobiakwa, Obingwa Local Government Area.


Expressing gratitude for Kalu's unwavering support, Ikpeazu described the Deputy Speaker as a steadfast brother and ally who stood by him through turbulent times without expecting anything in return.


"We had too many rough patches during my time as governor. We experienced Operation Python Dance, we experienced COVID-19, we experienced #EndSARS, and through all those rough patches, he stood by me," Ikpeazu said. "He was always there, and for that, I owe him a duty to support and encourage him."


The former governor urged Kalu, who represents Bende Federal Constituency, to remain humble while pursuing the right path, asserting that divine intervention has positioned him as a leader for the liberation of Abia State and the broader Igbo nation.


"God has raised you at a time like this for the liberation of not only Abia State but also for the entire Igbo nation that seems to be in a quandary," Ikpeazu added.


Earlier, Kalu congratulated Ikpeazu on his recent nomination as an ambassador-designate by President Bola Tinubu, describing the visit as a traditional New Year homage to a respected leader and in-law.


Kalu also presented Ikpeazu with a brochure detailing his legislative achievements in the National Assembly over the past two years.
