I Won a Ksh 12 Million Land Case Against My Rich Neighbour After Several Battles in Court
For years, I had lived peacefully on my small plot of land in Umoja Estate, Nairobi. It wasn’t much, but it was mine. My husband and I had saved every shilling to secure that land decades ago. Life was simple, quiet, and predictable—until my neighbour, Mr. Mwangi, a wealthy businessman, decided he wanted it.
It began subtly. He built a small fence that slightly crossed our boundary. He claimed our plot belonged to him. I politely disagreed. He smiled condescendingly and said, “We’ll see what the law says.” That smile marked the beginning of a battle I would never forget.
At first, I tried talking. I brought maps, old receipts, and agreements. He laughed at my papers, flaunting his expensive lawyers. I felt small. I felt powerless. But I refused to give up. That land wasn’t just dirt and grass—it was my home, my family’s future, and a symbol of everything we had worked for.
