Thursday, January 18, 2024 - Over 3500 residents of Obama Estate in Nairobi risk eviction after a high court sitting in Nairobi stated that they are occupying the land illegally.
The residents were
issued with an eviction notice on Wednesday by the owner identified as
Broadwell Limited.
The landlords of
the hundreds of rental apartments, schools, churches, and personal homes have a
maximum of two weeks to either enter an agreement of payment for the plots they
occupy or they vacate.
The deadline for
these two options is January 31, failure to which Broadwell Limited will have
to ensure the squatters on its land are forced out.
The unsuspecting
landlords at Obama were sold plots in the 18.6 acre land, LR No 18282 by
Daylight Self-help Group on diverse dates.
Documents show that
despite numerous attempts by Broadwell Limited to stop the invasion of the land
by groups of people did not bear fruits.
“We tried to stop
the invasion severally but were always threatened with violence and that is why
we went to the court,” Nicholas Mage, the Managing Director of Broadwell
Limited, said.
