Burning of Ongata Rongai biggest night club Legend Club, which has been favourite for many has raised many questions on what might have caused the inferno.
The fire started during English Premier League match between Chelsea and Manchester City whereby the English Premier League title holders were thrashed 3 nil.
According to sources Chelsea fans had turned up in their numbers with expectations of punishing their rivals.
The first goal by the “noisy neighbours” sparked anger in the club Arsenal and Manchester United fans mocking the blue fans led to the fans empty several bottles.
According to sources a fan had allegedly gone smoking in a non-smoking zone and is believed to have started the fire. A staff who spoke on anonymity claimed that the fire started in a section far from kitchen. The club owner was also in the club watching the match.
There has been rumors indicating that the fire may have been started by a staff for the owner to claim insurance, the rumors has been thrashed by our trusted source who indicated that the club owner had spent millions recently in doing renovations.
During the tragedy some youths had caused chaos in the site to divert attention and gain access to the club counter to steal alcohol, police officers had a hard time in controlling them.
The youths who didn’t have an opportunity to snatch even a single bottle from the club turned their anger to politicians who were interviewed by media, they disrupted the interview by throwing empty beer bottles.
One of the youths was beaten up when he allegedly gained access to the neighboring club and tried to get away with alcohol.
Rongai party lovers who had made the club their home will now have to make a bitter move to other upcoming clubs such as Cubano, Ladida and Platinum which have been seen attracting youths especially college students.
The 30 year old Club Legend has been a safe location for land dealers who have made millions from the business, it had private rooms where the tycoon used to negotiate big deals and the investors will now have to think of starting another club for the millionaires.
According to sources the lease to operate in the site has not expired, plot owner might try to negotiate with the club owner to end the lease. The situation will see construction of permanent structure which will definitely be a business hub in the area due to its location.
