According to a Kiambu Police Spokesperson, the group of people had made a stopover at a friend's house on Saturday to make merry when about 11 of them drowned after the slab collapsed.

A rescue operation led by the Ruiru fire brigade and officers from Kihunguro police station commenced afterwards and 11 people were retrieved including two children.
However, the police have confirmed that one of the children, a girl was confirmed dead.
