The lawyer said that he has instructions from the Church to move to court and recover the institution’s properties.

Last weekend, the leadership of the church protested against plans by wealthy Nairobi businessmen to irregularly acquire its assets.

Ntombura had also claimed that his life was in danger due to the institution’s position to ward off private developers salivating on the prime properties.

He disclosed that the property being targeted by wealthy investors with interest in the higher education sector includes KEMU Nairobi campus and Methodist Resort Centre, which are worth billions of shillings.
