A 70-year-old widow is battling to save her Sh150 million property after it was auctioned by a bank to recover a Sh65 million loan.

Alice Wanjiru, through a suit filed in court, claims the past seven years have been a nightmare to her as she battled to keep her property, which she alleges has been illegally sold to an investment company based on a false claim that she defaulted on repaying the loan.
