High traffic was witnessed along the Nyali Bridge as residents rushed to cross to the other side ahead of the planned demolition of the 11-storey sinking building in Mombasa.
Matatus, tuk-tuks, and boda bodas all flooded the bridge as they rushed to migrate towards the northern mainland regions, including Nyali, Bamburi, and Kisauni, before the bridge and its subsequent road were closed to allow swift demolition.
In an official statement, the area leadership announced to all the residents to migrate to the opposite side for their safety. ''This is for your safety.
I'd like to direct all those in the Coast General Hospital to move out, and while at it, leave all the windows of the hospital open and ensure everyone is out of the facility," the caution notice announced.
