Authorities in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, have evacuated residents from the area where a gas blast killed six people and injured nearly 300 last week, after a suspected fresh gas leak was reported.
Schools in the neighbourhood of Embakasi have also asked parents to pick their children.
The area has since been secured by authorities, Nairobi County’s head of Disaster Management Bramwel Simiyu said.
“It is just precautionary we have evacuated them as we invited the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority to identify whether there is a threat,” Simiyu told.
Last week several residents told local media that authorities had ignored their reports about a gas leak, hours before the fatal Thursday night explosion.
