An unknown number of people have been trapped in a building at Kanduyi market in Bungoma County after the structure, which was initially half-demolished, collapsed.
The building was partially demolished last weekend as part of the expansion and renovation of Masinde Muliro Stadium for this year’s Madaraka Day celebrations.
Those trapped were reportedly harvesting steel irons for commercial purposes.
Emmanuel Sikuku, an eyewitness, stated that people had been warned against approaching the building, but they failed to heed the instructions.
He added that the building had shown signs of imminent collapse.
Rescue operations are still going on.
