At least four people died yesterday evening after a perimeter wall collapsed on them, along Lenana Road, Nairobi due to heavy rains. Kilimani police boss Peter Katam said those who died were taking shelter, before disaster struck.

“The four people were sheltering from the heavy rains which started at around the better part of Friday afternoon. We urge motorists and city residents to be cautious,” said Mr Kattam.
