City Billionaire Chris Obure, the Group Chairman of SBS Dunhill (East Africa) Limited, has filed a formal statement with the Kilimani DCI, claiming his life is in danger following a dramatic court-ordered return to the disputed Senteu Plaza in Kilimani, where the billionaire paid a total of Ksh1.3 billion towards its acquisition.
Obure, accompanied by his lawyer Gitobu Imanyara, appeared at Kilimani Police Station on Tuesday, July 30, 2025, where he accused an auctioneer of orchestrating threats against him.
According to Obure, he has been trailed by unmarked vehicles and unidentified individuals on motorbikes since regaining possession of the property.
“I fear for my life. Ever since the court reinstated me to Senteu Plaza, I’ve been followed by suspicious cars and goons on boda bodas. I believe an auctioneer, who carried out my illegal eviction, is behind this,” Obure told reporters outside the station.
His lawyer, Gitobu Imanyara, called on authorities to provide immediate security for his client, warning that should anything happen to Obure, the auctioneer must be held responsible.
“The court found the eviction unlawful. Now that my client has been reinstated, he is being harassed and threatened. We are putting this on record—should anything happen to Mr. Obure, the blame lies squarely with the auctioneer,” said Imanyara.
The Senteu Plaza saga has continued to unfold amid a heated property dispute, drawing growing public attention and calls for justice.
