 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.

 Alleged £122,000 Investment Fraud: EFCC Arraigns Businessman in Lagos


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Lagos Zonal Directorate 1, has arraigned a businessman, Ashley Segun Oshin, before Justice Ismail O. Ijelu of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, over an alleged One Hundred and Twenty-Two Thousand British Pounds Sterling, £122,000, investment fraud.


Oshin was arraigned on a one-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence, contrary to Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.


The charge reads:


"That you, Ashley Segun Oshin, between 2009 and 2010, with intent to defraud, induced Miss Oluwafemi Fajana and Mr. Abiodun Adeogun to deliver to you the aggregate sum of £122,000 (One Hundred and Twenty-Two Thousand British Pounds Sterling) by falsely representing to them that the said sum would be invested in a debenture fund of Oschards Limited and would yield a 40 per cent annual return on investment, which representation you knew to be false."


He pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him.

Following his plea, prosecution counsel, M.S. Owede informed the court that the charge was filed on June 29, 2026.  He subsequently requested a trial date and an order remanding the defendant in a Correctional Centre pending the determination of the case.

Owede also sought time to respond to the defendant's bail application, explaining that the EFCC detention facility was already full and had no available space.


However, defence counsel, Samuel N. Umoren, informed the court that he had filed a bail application dated November 10, 2026, which had been served on the prosecution.  He urged the court to hear the application and sought an early date for its hearing. He also requested that the defendant be remanded in EFCC custody.

Justice Ijelu subsequently adjourned the case to November 18, 2026, for trial and hearing of the pending bail application.


The defendant was remanded in a Correctional Centre pending further proceedings.
