Because of the love of his wife and child, a 29 year old man did this in Huruma

A 29 year old casual worker put his life in danger while trying to rescue his wife and child from the debris of the collapsed building in Huruma.

Erick Ochieng said that he arrived at home on Sunday to find the seven-storey building had collapsed and immediately pushed his way into the rubble and concrete slabs while trying to locate where his house was so as to save his wife and a child.

He found it and went under the table looking for his family while calling her cellphone which was not going through.

Ochieng panicked after failing to reach her on phone and fell unconscious and passed out. It was rescuers who got him out and administered first aid.

His wife and child had been safely removed from the building but he was not aware.

Ochieng said that as tenants, they had complained to the owner of the building about cracks on the walls but he made no efforts to repair them. Each floor had ten units each going for Sh3,500 per month.
