The director of Ultra Eureka Limited says the company lawfully purchased a prime property in Karen through a public auction in October 2024, but was met with violence when attempting to take possession.

Jackson Kiplimo Chebett, in a replying affidavit filed in court, stated that Ultra Eureka Limited paid Ksh. 450 million for the property registered as L.R No.1055/165 (now Nairobi/Block 47/1399), which includes Tamarind Karen and Dari Business Park, and received all completion documents to formalize the transfer.

Chebett alleged that on March 10, 2026, the property was forcibly contested by supporters of former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju.

The director claimed assailants attacked security personnel deployed by Ultra Eureka, leaving several guards seriously injured.

He further stated that police intervened to restore order, and both parties were asked to present ownership documents to SSP Mwanthi at Langata Police Station. 

According to Chebett, the Tuju camp refused to submit any documents, claiming that “documents would not tell the whole story,” and left the meeting accusing the officer of bias.

Ultra Eureka Limited maintains that it is now the lawful registered owner of the property and that any claim by the plaintiffs, including Tuju, is no longer valid. 

The company’s legal team has argued that any further remedy for the plaintiffs should be limited to damages in case the public auction is later declared irregular.
