A building that once housed Club Avenida collapsed around midnight on October 17 during demolition work on Moi Avenue in central Nairobi. Four people were injured and taken to hospital; three were in stable condition and one was in critical condition. Witnesses said about 25 people were inside, and all had been accounted for by around 1 a.m. as responders continued searching. County official Geoffrey Mosiria called for an investigation into whether qualified professionals supervised the demolition and the required approvals were obtained.
