 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.

 Amupitan: I had conviction from God before accepting INEC appointment


Joash Amupitan, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says he had the conviction that God would help before he accepted his appointment to lead the electoral body.


Amupitan spoke in Abuja on Wednesday at the end of tenure and appreciation service organised by the Nigerian Baptist Convention for its outgoing president, Israel Akanji, and his wife, Victoria.


The INEC chairman said he would not have accepted the offer without such a conviction from God, saying, ” the Lord said, ‘Fear not; do not be dismayed.'”


“If I didn’t have the conviction for this job, I would not accept it. But I had a conviction very clearly that… the Lord said, ‘fear not, do not be dismayed.’ He said, ‘I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you.’ I heard this clearly before I accepted this job,” he said.


According to him, God has been on his side since his assumption of office and called for prayers from Nigeria to make the 2027 elections the best ever.


“No matter the storm, no matter the difficulty, God is able to calm every storm. That is what God has been doing,” he said.


“My experience so far as the INEC chairman is that if God does not send you somewhere, do not go there, including the ministry; if God does not send you, do not do it. I cannot do it on my own, but with God on my side, it is possible.


“Continue to pray for Nigeria, continue to pray for us, and continue to pray for me that the 2027 election will be the best ever. I cannot do it on my own, but with the Lord on my side, it is possible, and it is doable
