Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko came to the rescue of a one-and-a-half-year-old baby who was thrown from the second floor of a building during a tragic fire incident in Mathare.
Through a statement, Sonko narrated how the baby was thrown from the building by her mother, who did not survive, in an effort to save her from the raging inferno. "Following Monday's tragic fire incident in Mathare that claimed 6 lives, a mother attempted to save her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter by throwing her from the 2nd floor to the ground, resulting in the child sustaining severe injuries to her eye," he stated.
The fall resulted in the baby sustaining serious injuries to her left eye.
According to Sonko, relatives and neighbours of the baby's family on Tuesday, May 20, took the child to the Sonko Rescue Team headquarters to get assistance.
