Influencer Aziad Nasenya sues Sacco in Sh20m property dispute

Media personality Azziad Naisenya during a past event in Nairobi on April 4, 2025. [David Gichuru, Standard] Social media influencer Azziad Nasenya is embroiled in a Sh21 million court battle with a deposit-taking Sacco. In a case filed before the Commercial Court in Nairobi, she accuses Qona Deposit Taking Savings and Credit Society of illegally listing to auction her Sh20 million apartment to recoup the money. Nasenya argues that there was an agreement that the Sacco buys an apartment at Platinum Oak, Nairobi, on her behalf and she would repay the loan within the agreed timelines. She, however, says that due to harsh economy, she fell into arrears of around Sh1.5 million as of September this year. The Sacco, she says, informed her that it had used her Sh2.4 million savings to clear the arrears. "As of September 19, 2025, the applicant had no outstanding loan arrears and legitimately expected that the balance would be used as a credit in her loan account," reads her court papers. But on September 24, Qona run an advert indicating that the Kileleshwa property would be sold at an auction on October 8. Nasenya asserts that the move was illegal and unfair, as the financial institution had already recovered the amount owed to it using her savings. "The first respondent is therefore undertaking two concurrent recovery processes, liquidating the applicant's savings to clear the arrears while also attempting to sell the suit property to recover the same arrears," states her lawyer. In her supporting affidavit, Nasenya argues that the agreement was that the Sacco would not call for or sue for immediate repayment of the loan. "I was therefore shocked when the first defendant through the second defendant by way of advertisement published in the Daily Nation on September 24, 2025, purported to put the property on sale on account of alleged unpaid Sh21.8 million," says Nasenya. She argues that the decision to force her to repay the entire amount was rushed and illegal. According to her, the auction would lead to her family being evicted despite her willingness to pay off the loan. She accuses Qona of misleading the public that the property was a three-bedroom house while it was a four-bedroom one. According to her, the intention was to sell off the house at a throwaway price. "I live in the suit property and I have a very clear intention of repaying the facility granted to me by the first defendant as I am no longer in arrears," she states, adding that the sale would render her interests moot and lead her to incur a loss. She maintains that the firm did not issue her with the required notices before putting up the apartment on auction. She wants the court to bar the Sacco from selling the apartment until the dispute is heard and determined.
