 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.

 NASARAWA TO DISTRIBUTE 1.8 MILLION MOSQUITO NETS TO COMBAT MALARIA


The Nasarawa State Government says it will distribute 1.8 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets to households across the state to reduce malaria prevalence, particularly among children and pregnant women.


The Commissioner for Health, Dr Gaza Gwamna, stated this at a media parley ahead of the exercise, organised in collaboration with the United States Government and the National Malaria Elimination Programme.


He said the intervention had contributed to reducing malaria prevalence in the state from 21 per cent to 11.5 per cent, while assuring that hard-to-reach communities would be covered.


The Director of Public Health, Dr Peter Attah, said personnel had been trained and coordinators appointed to ensure effective distribution. He added that Lafia would receive 250,000 nets, while Karu would get 300,000.


A representative of the Global Health Supply Chain, Patience Ochibe, urged residents to return old nets for recycling rather than dispose of them indiscriminately.


Household registration is scheduled for November 15 to 21, 2026, while distribution of the free nets will take place from December 6 to 12.


Residents are urged to cooperate with mobilisation teams and register their households to benefit from the exercise.
