Three dead after wall collapses at Riverside Drive construction site

The incident occurred near the Grand Residence as workers were reporting for their daily shifts, with the structure suddenly giving way and burying some of those at the site.

According to a security source at the scene, 33 casual workers were in the immediate vicinity of the wall when it collapsed.

Rescue teams, emergency responders and local authorities rushed to the site to search through the rubble and assist those affected.

Initial headcounts established that 22 workers had been accounted for, while the 11 injured were rushed to various hospitals across Nairobi for treatment.

Police have cordoned off the scene as rescue operations continue to establish whether anyone else remains trapped beneath the debris.

Investigations are expected to establish the cause of the collapse and whether the construction site complied with the required safety standards.

The incident comes a day after a separate building collapse along Mombasa Road killed six people, raising fresh concerns over construction safety in Nairobi.

This is a developing story.
