Over 90 Families Evacuated from Nairobi Apartment Building on County Orders

Nairobi County ordered the immediate evacuation of a 10-storey apartment building on Kabiria Road in Riruta after inspectors found serious structural defects and extensive cracks. About 90 families were displaced, with some tenants saying they had little time to leave and had to abandon belongings under police supervision. The county declared the property dangerous on October 31, citing violations of planning rules and the building code, and ordered the structure demolished. The evacuation comes as rescue teams continue searching for at least 11 people trapped after an 18-storey building collapsed in Eastleigh on October 23.
