DCI intensifies probe into Manzil Towers collapse in Nairobi after two deaths
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has stepped up efforts to unravel the circumstances behind the tragic collapse of Manzil Towers in South C, Nairobi, which claimed two lives on January 2, 2026.
Following the receipt of a duplicate inquiry file from the RCIO Nairobi Region on February 11, 2026, the DCI immediately reviewed the evidence at its headquarters.
On February 12, 2026, it issued a detailed directive to the RCIO, outlining additional steps to close investigative gaps.
The directive was also shared with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the Inspector-General of the National Police Service, ensuring coordinated action and full transparency.
The investigation covers every stage of the project, from initial approvals and construction processes to inspections, material testing, and professional accountability.
Forensic audits and inter-agency reports are also being scrutinized to establish a complete picture of what went wrong.
“The DCI is committed to a meticulous, evidence-based inquiry. All responsible parties, including those linked to the tragic deaths, will be identified and charged,” the agency said.
Once all directed actions are completed, the updated investigation file will be submitted to the ODPP for further action.
The DCI reassures the public that it is leaving no stone unturned in its pursuit of justice and in preventing future building disasters.
