Moto huharibu maduka kwenye Luthuli Avenue huko Nairobi CBD

Moto ulizuka katika jengo la Ramogi kwenye Luthuli Avenue, Nairobi CBD, na kuharibu maduka kadhaa ya umeme. Hakuna majeruhi au vifo vilivyoripotiwa, lakini uharibifu wa mali ni mkubwa. Moto ulizuiliwa jioni, ingawa moshi uliendelea kutoka jengoni.

Jioni ya Jumatatu, Januari 6, 2026, moto ulizuka katika jengo la Ramogi lililopo kwenye Luthuli Avenue katika Nairobi CBD. Jengo hilo linawakilisha maduka mengi ya umeme kwenye ghorofa ya chini. Ripoti za awali zinaonyesha moto ulianza kwenye ghorofa ya kwanza na haraka ukasambaa hadi kiwango kisichoweza kudhibitiwa.

Picha na video zilizopatikana zinaonyesha umati mkubwa wa watu ulikusanyika mahali pa tukio, lakini hakuna mtu aliyejaribu kuzima moto ambao tayari ulikuwa umeharibu sehemu kubwa ya jengo. Onyo la umeme kwenye barabara yenye shughuli nyingi lilitekwa na moto, na yaliyomo kwenye ghorofa ya kwanza yalibadilika kuwa majivu.

Wamiliki wa biashara katika maeneo yanayozunguka walifunga haraka maduka yao, wakiogopa moto utaenea majengoni mbalimbali. Kufikia wakati wa kuchapisha, serikali ya Nairobi City County haikuwa imetoa taarifa rasmi kuhusu moto. Hata hivyo, moto ulizuiliwa jioni, ingawa mawingu makubwa ya moshi yalizuka kutoka jengoni, ikionyesha kuwa nyenzo zinazowaka zimechomwa.

Kwa historia, moto katika Nairobi CBD ni nadra lakini mara nyingi husababisha uharibifu mkubwa wa mali na kupoteza maisha. Tukio la hivi karibuni lilikuwa Juni 2025, wakati moto ulizuka kwenye ghorofa ya juu ya jengo la urefu karibu na Barkat Biashara Mall. Msaidizi wa zamani wa gavana wa Nairobi Mike Sonko alimwomba mrithi wake Johnson Sakaja mnamo Novemba kuanzisha vituo vya zima moto katika kila moja ya sub-counties 17 za Nairobi ili kuboresha majibu ya idara hiyo.
