Four dead and scores trapped in ill-fated building

 

Witnesses said the building suddenly came tumbling down at 8am yesterday, after a night of incessant rains.

Four people died and scores are still trapped inside a six-storied building that collapsed in Tassia, Embakasi East yesterday. 

And voices of those still trapped, crying for help, could be heard even as rescuers struggled to drill through the debris. Those rescued came out caked in dust, with some mumbling a prayer thanking God for saving their lives. Others were too dazed to talk. Four people were confirmed dead, with rescue operations ongoing throughout the day with fears that scores of people were still unaccounted for.
