The recovery effort entered its third day on Sunday, with emergency teams from the Nairobi County Government, the Disaster Management Unit, and the Kenya Red Cross stationed along Muhoho Avenue in South C since Friday morning.
The retrieval was briefly stopped following the recovery to allow the body to be removed from the scene before the exercise resumed.
Speaking to the press earlier in the day, Assistant Inspector General of Police Dr. Duncan Ochieng, the operations commander, stated that the search operation was approximately 65 percent complete.
