Six people were killed near Nairobi on Friday when the top floor of a building under construction collapsed, a Kenyan police official said, according to a South China Morning Post report that carries Reuters1.
Duncan Ochieng, assistant inspector general of police in charge of disaster management, said six bodies had been confirmed and five people were taken to Imara Daima Hospital1.
Ochieng said 405 workers were on the site when the floor came down, that everyone had been accounted for, and that the site was later closed1.
The Kenya Red Cross said the collapse was in Syokimau, southeast of Nairobi1. The SCMP report described the incident as the latest in a string of construction accidents in Kenya recently1.
