 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.

 NIGERIA CUSTOMS, TMPL TEST CUTTING-EDGE CARGO SCANNERS IN CHINA AHEAD OF DEPLOYMENT


The Nigeria Customs Service and Trade Modernisation Project Limited have completed factory acceptance tests for newly acquired non-intrusive inspection equipment and an electronic cargo tracking system in China.


The two-week exercise, led by Deputy Comptroller-General Oluyomi Adebakin, took place at the facility of Nuctech Company Limited.


The team conducted technical verification of the high-tech scanners and tracking system designed to enhance cargo examination and enable real-time monitoring from ports to destinations.


Deputy Comptroller-General Adebakin reaffirmed the commitment of Comptroller-General Adewale Adeniyi to leveraging technology for trade facilitation, revenue optimisation and national security.


She described the tests as a crucial quality assurance process to ensure the systems meet global operational standards before shipment to Nigeria.


She added that deploying the scanners would reduce physical examinations, curb cargo diversion, minimise human contact and improve operational efficiency across Customs formations.
