The owner of the ill-fated Manzil Towers building in South C, Nairobi, Abdishakur Muse Mohammed, and four other accused persons have been formally charged with multiple criminal offences, including manslaughter, over the January 2, 2026, building collapse that claimed two lives.
The accused persons, who appeared before the Milimani Chief Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, were each released on a Sh5 million bond with one surety of a similar amount or an alternative cash bail of Sh2 million pending the hearing and determination of the case.
At the same time, the court issued summons requiring suspended Nairobi County Chief Officer for Urban Planning Patrick Analo Akivaga to appear before court on July 20, 2026, to take plea after he failed to attend Tuesday's scheduled arraignment.
