A man living with disability now claims to have been forcefully evicted from his home which was later demolished in what appears to be a land row.
John Lang'o claims that youths descended on his homestead in Kanyakwar Village, Kisumu County and demolished three structures.
The incident reportedly happened on Monday morning.
According to him, the demolition was done by over 50 youths who were accompanied by police officers from the nearby police station.
The 55-year-old leg amputee claims that the youth carried him out of the house before demolishing the main house, kitchen and livestock house in the name of a court order.
“Just as I was trying to inquire what the matter was, some of the youths carried me out of the house as others threw out my belongings,” he told the Standard.
He is now claiming that the demolishers might have descended on the wrong property, as neither his name nor piece of land features in the targeted land as per the order.
He said that OCPD Ancent Kaloki referred him back to the courts when he raised concerns about his houses being wrongly demolished.
"The document was prepared by the courts, so if there was any mix-up in the names, the police may not explain. All we know is that we were effecting an eviction order on anybody who was found on that land,” the OCPD said.
Lang'o argues that the row pits Mr Stephen Ndeda and Bendeka Holdings Limited against Mr Paul Olang', none of whom he is.
He claimed that he lost property worth thousands in the ordeal to theft, including Sh35, 000 savings, a sewing machine, his television set, a solar panel and a music system.
He also reportedly lost his son's laptop.
According to neighbours, the latter has uninterruptedly lived in the place for 11 years.
