A total 175 houses were burnt in Kiambiu slums, Buru Buru, after a man set his house on fire in a domestic disagreement.

The incidence occurred on Monday morning.

The fire quickly spread to the surrounding houses made of timber and iron sheets, bringing them all down to ashes.

Mr Otieno had quarrelled with the wife and neighbours say they heard him threatening he would resort to suicide by burning himself.

According to Nairobi News, the neighbours took it as a light matter until later when there was a big blast followed by the fire.

At least 175 houses had been completely burnt by the time the fire was put out.

The whereabouts of the couple are still unknown although police have confirmed no lives were lost in the incidence.
