Deaths Reported in Nairobi Building Collapse, Several Trapped Inside

At least two people were reportedly killed and several injured when a building under construction in Roysambu, Nairobi, collapsed on April 2.

At the time of writing, NCA Kenya, a regulatory body for Kenya’s construction industry, was reporting that five people had been rescued and eight were unaccounted for. Other reports said scores were trapped. The NCA quoted Peter Muriithi, a member of the County Assembly (MCA) for Roysambu, as saying the fifth floor of the building was nearing completion, despite approval having been granted for just three.
