“I stand to suffer irreparable loss and damages if the defendants are not hereby restricted," Nguru said in her affidavit.
In the civil suit filed in 2015, Nguru also claimed she had been paying the required land rates to the Kirinyaga County government.
Nguru said her mother, who has been sued jointly with her other six children, trespassed on the property without her consent and incited her tenants to stop making rent payments to her.
The respondents also allegedly issued eviction notices to some tenants and broke some of the locked toilet doors.
Wairimu says she co-owns the premise with her late husband
But in her defence, Wairimu denied that she had trespassed on anyone’s property.
She insisted that she co-owns the disputed property with her late husband Cyprian Kimanjui and that she has not transferred her shares to her daughter or any other third party.
“I wish to reiterate that the suit property does not belong to the plaintiff and falls within the estate of my deceased husband, which estate is subject to the process of succession," she said.
The case will be mentioned on May 11.
