Drama As Court Orders Obure’s Reinstatement at Senteu Plaza After Unlawful Eviction

Tension gripped Senteu Plaza on Lenana Road, Nairobi, on July 28, 2025, after the Business Premises Rent Tribunal (BPRT) ordered the reinstatement of city businessman Chris Obure to his business premises, following what the court ruled was an unlawful eviction by property owner Ajeetkumar C. Shah and others.
In a ruling delivered by Hon. Cyprian Mugambi Nguthari (Chairperson), the tribunal directed that Obure, through his company SBS Dunhill Group (EA) Ltd, be allowed full access and occupation of the premises located on the first floor of Senteu Plaza, identified as L.R. 1/1373 (Original Number 1/989 & 1/990).
The tribunal ordered the respondents to reopen the premises and restrained them from any further eviction or interference with Obure’s tenancy. In a rare move, the judge also allowed Obure the option to break into the premises if denied access and directed the OCS Kilimani Police Station to ensure enforcement of the order and maintain peace.
The businessman, who had been evicted two months ago, moved to the tribunal claiming he was wrongfully removed despite being in the process of purchasing the building—a claim he insists was frustrated by the property owners.
The court further issued a temporary injunction restraining Shah, his agents, and assignees from harassing or intimidating Obure pending the hearing and determination of the case. The landlord was also directed to bear the costs of the application.
The ruling was officially signed and sealed by Hon. Willy Maina (Deputy Registrar).
