A nine-storey building that was under construction in Ruiru, Kiambu County has collapsed.
Reports from the police indicate that no one was inside the building at the time of the incident.
By press time, it was still unclear what had led to the building’s collapse.
Meanwhile, cases of building collapsing in Nairobi and its environs have been on the rise over the past two months.
In September, a five-storey residential building under construction collapsed in Kinoo. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Investigations on the unfortunate Kinoo incident revealed that the owner of the building had allegedly added more floors without approval from relevant agencies.
Barely a week after the Kinoo incident, three workers died at a construction site in Gachie, Kiambu County after a building they were working on collapsed.
More than 10 others were injured in the incident.
Elsewhere early this month, one man was fatally injured and several other hospitalised after a building collapsed along Parklands 5th Avenue.
