At least four people succumbed on Sunday evening after a septic tank caved in beneath a hall where football fans had gathered to watch a match in the Bamburi Mwisho area in Nyali Constituency, Mombasa County.
The structure, reportedly used for screening football and movies, was constructed directly above the tank, which collapsed during the screening, trapping an unknown number of people.
According to the Mombasa County Commissioner, Mahmoud Noor, the incident was confirmed, revealing that the victims were inside the hall when the floor suddenly caved in. ''They were watching a football match when the incident occurred, and they fell inside.
Everything is trapped inside the septic," a relative to one of the victims stated. A photo collage of the aftermath following the collapse of a football hall in Bamburi, Mombasa County.
