Nyaga was accused of wilfully and unlawfully demolishing a residential house belonging to Sadrudin Habib Kassam Kurji, who is said to have lived there for 20 years.

According to the prosecution, Nyaga forged a title deed plan and purported it to be a genuine one issued and signed by senior land surveyor Peter Francis Njoroge.

He pleaded not guilty before Nairobi magistrate Charity Oluoch, who freed him on a Sh1 million cash bail.

His trial will commence on February 8.
