According to Paul, the two claimed that he died in 2006 and that he had sold to them the property in 2005 before his death.

While he was in the UK, he was notified that Muthama and Kirianki raided his home with the assistance of police officers from Kilimani Police Station and forcefully took possession after chasing away his workers.

“They timed while I was away in the UK and invaded my home, chased away the domestic workers, stole my properties and put up the land for sale,” he said.

However, the businessmen maintained that Paul died in August 2006 after buying his property in 2005.

The two claim that the person who is claiming to be Paul is a ghost.
