Kenyan content creator and media personality Azziad Nasenya is locked in a high-stakes legal battle as she moves to the Commercial Court (Nairobi) seeking to block the auction of her apartment in the Kileleshwa area of Nairobi. 

According to court filings, Nasenya acquired the property through a mortgage financing arrangement with a deposit-taking savings and credit co-operative society. The loan documents show that the apartment was charged to the institution in June 2024 as security, following a loan disbursement of KSh 20.3 million to purchase the unit. 

Trouble emerged after she fell behind on repayments amid economic headwinds. By September 2025 the arrears were reported at around KSh 1.5 million. However, Nasenya says the institution subsequently deducted KSh 2.45 million from her savings to clear the arrears on 19 September 2025. 

Despite this settlement, the credit society allegedly published an auction notice on 24 September 2025, listing the apartment, valued at approximately KSh 20-21 million, for public sale on 8 October 2025. Nasenya claims the move was “unlawful and premature,” arguing that the loan charge explicitly stated the lender would not call for repayment outside the time specified. 

The essence of her case is two-fold. First, she seeks a declaration that she is not in arrears and that the auction notice is illegal, unlawful and void. Second, she wants a permanent injunction preventing the institution and the auctioneer from selling or otherwise dealing with the property pending the determination of her case. 

Adding to the controversy, she alleges that the institution undervalued the apartment by marketing it as a three-bedroom unit instead of a four-bedroom one, potentially harming her position by reducing its sale value. She also contends that statutory notices required under the Land Act (Kenya) were never properly served, thereby rendering the auction process defective. 

For its part, the institution, identified as Qona Deposit Taking Sacco, has yet to issue a public response, but the legal filings suggest it believes the recovery route is justified by defaulted loan obligations. 

With the auction scheduled, all eyes are now on whether Azziad will succeed in halting the sales, or if the hammer will fall and her residence will change hands.
