People Feared Dead After Building Collapses In Kahawa West

A search and rescue mission was Sunday morning launched after a multi-story building collapsed in the Kahawa West area, Nairobi.

Police said they are not certain if there were people trapped under the rubble after the incident.

Locals had detected the weakness in the building and had mobilized residents to evacuate.

They even took videos of the seven-storey tumbling.

The video showed the residents warn those near there to move away moments before it came down amid screams.

Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said the residents had been evacuated from the house.

“We are not sure if there were people still therein but I know there was an evacuation that happened. They knew it was weak,” he said.

He added they had sent teams to the site to help in searching and rescuing anyone who may be trapped.

Multi-agency teams were sent to the area for the mission.
