Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s residence reportedly caught fire on Saturday morning.
This incident prompted a swift response from Nairobi City County emergency teams.
According to preliminary reports, the fire broke out around dawn, with footage widely shared online showing flames and thick smoke rising from part of the building.
Additionally, sparks could also be seen around the affected outer section of the building, suggesting a possible electrical fault, but the exact cause of the fire had not been immediately established.
According to reports, county firefighters, led by Customer Service Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria, responded to the scene and contained the blaze before it could spread and cause further damage.
Moments later, Sonko took to social media to thank the Nairobi County disaster management team for its quick response and reassured the public that he was safe.
“The devil is a liar! Just look at how much God loves us. Imagine, He woke us up!” Sonko wrote.
He also thanked the county team for its intervention.
“Mosiria, thank you so much and to your entire team from Nairobi County. May God bless you abundantly”, the former governor added.
