Njiru residents lose bid to stop eviction from 73-hectare land
They argued that their stay had been open, peaceful and uninterrupted for more than 12 years.
Forty-two residents of Njiru, Nairobi, risk losing their claim to remain on a 73.49-hectare parcel of land after the Environment and Land Court rejected their bid to stop a property developer from evicting them or interfering with their occupation.
The residents, led by Collins Odhiambo Osoro, had asked the court to restrain Njiru Ageria Development Company Limited from evicting them, threatening them, leasing or selling the disputed property while their ownership case was pending.
