A fire which erupted during the New Year celebrations at the
Old Mutual Towers in Nairobi has been put out.
According to reports, a New Year fireworks display at the
iconic skyline reportedly caused the huge fire on Sunday night.
Images and videos doing rounds across social media platforms
showed thick smoke billowing from the building with a visible fire at the top
floors shortly after a spectacular display of fireworks.
The tower management, in a statement on Monday, confirmed the
fire incident saying firefighters had already responded and addressed the
situation.
“We acknowledge there was a minor incident after the New
Year Fireworks celebration at the Old Mutual Tower. This was on the balcony of
a top floor and it has since been contained. We thank all our celebrants for
the notifications and we wish you all a Happy 2024,” read the statement.
