On Tuesday, April 8, Mombasa Governor Abdullswamad Sherrif Nassir ordered all businesses and residents living near an 11-storey building on the verge of collapse to temporarily evacuate.
On Wednesday last week, passersby raised the alarm after witnessing the near-collapsing building showing signs of imminent collapse, with the matter being reported to authorities.
Emergency teams have since been deployed in the area.
The building, which was nearing completion, had visible cracks on its columns, with the first floor already enduring a collapse.
