A residential property belonging to Paul Wanderi Ndung’u, billionaire businessman fighting for his stake in SportPesa, is up for auction.
In a notice on Tuesday, Garam Auctioneers listed the four-bedroom double-storey house in Gigiri, near the United Nations offices, for sale.
The property sits on 2.8 acres and consists of the house, which currently serves as an office, a single-storey servant’s quarter block, an external kitchen and a carpot.
“All that parcel of land known as L.R. No. 7258/52 (I.R. No.22387) Gigiri Estate, Nairobi City registered in the name of Paul Wanderi Ndung’u g/t Simba Fresh Produce Limited,” reads the notice for auction.
It is unclear which lender has put the property of the businessman fighting for control of the betting firm after he was expelled as a shareholder of Pevans East Africa, the SportPesa owner, at zero compensation for his 17 percent stake, for non-payment.
The auction will be held on March 21.
