Niraj Shah and his family have owned and lived in their home in Nairobi's Spring Valley estate for the last 20 years. However, men in the name of auctioneers broke into the one-acre home and literally brought it down.
Such evictions have been carried out, especially in Nairobi, for some time now. The narrative has always been the same. A property owner's lease is about to expire he or she attempts to get it renewed before that is done men claiming to be auctioneers descend. The Shahs are in court hoping to get justice. Mr Zacharia Barasa is behind bars as detectives unravel what could have taken place.
