A survivor of the Kisii building collapse has shared chilling details of how he clung to life—breathing through a tiny gap in the rubble for six agonizing hours.

Jared Nyakundi, 35, was working on the second floor of the ill-fated structure when it came crashing down, killing five people.

This comes as the National Construction Authority now says the building had already been flagged for demolition over non-compliance.
