The tricks fraudsters use to dispossess you of your land

Justice Okong’o brought to the fore tricks used by fraudsters to pounce on land whose leases are about to expire in a judgment where he saved the Sh2 billion Caxton House from land grabbers. [Boniface Okendo, Standard]

When British engineer Paul Curzon left the country in 2016 to take care of his ailing wife, land grabbers pounced on his two parcels and evicted his workers. 

He discovered that the grabbers claimed he died in 2006 before faking his death certificate. They then prepared a sale agreement purporting that he had sold them the two parcels in Kileleshwa and Ngong Road before his death.
