Owner of Kenya building which collapsed killing at least 21, arrested

The owner of a building which collapsed in Kenya’s capital Nairobi on Friday, killing at least 21 people, has been arrested, police told the BBC. Samuel Karanja Kamau would appear in court on Tuesday, police added. Earlier, officials said he did not have permission to rent out 119 rooms in the six-storey building. Mr. Kamau has not yet commented on the allegation.
More than 90 people are still feared trapped beneath the rubble, BBC reports. About 135 people, according to local media, have been freed so far from the collapsed building.
The governor of Nairobi, Evans Kidero, said that officials who approved the construction of the building in the poor neighbourhood of Huruma would be sacked. Three days of rainfall caused landslides and flooded roads in Nairobi.
