A church-run school in Nairobi yesterday shut its doors after 13 years over safety concerns.

Royal King Education Centre, run by Deliverance Church in Eastleigh, is the latest victim of school shutdowns across the country since the collapse of Precious Talent School in Nairobi’s Dagoretti last year, where seven pupils were killed and scores injured when a classroom collapsed.
