18-storey building under construction collapses in Eastleigh, several feared trapped

EASTLEIGH BUILDING COLLAPSED

A search and rescue operation is ongoing along 9th Street in Eastleigh, Nairobi County, after an 18-storey building under construction collapsed, trapping several construction workers. Nairobi Regional Police Commander Issa Mohammud says by 6 pm a multi-agency rescue team had rescued one person as they combed through the debris in search of other construction workers. It was further established that the building owner flouted building regulations, and a manhunt was on for the building owner. As Abdiaziz Hashim now tells us, anti-riot police were forced to lob tear gas canisters at a section of rowdy residents who were seeking to witness the rescue operations up close, negating their safety.
