At least 30 people have been injured in a Lunch hour- 1:10pm East African time explosion that rocked Assanands House next to Mt Kenya University Campus in Nairobi city.
“There was a huge bang followed by people screaming and shouting,” said one witness who declined to be named.
However, Kenya’s Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere said it was too early to determine the cause of the blast. He said blackened wires inside the trading centre indicated a possible electrical fault but did not rule out a bomb.
Dense black smoke billowed from the badly damaged building and sirens blared as emergency service crews rushed to Moi Avenue, a major road running through the city centre.
