Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga almost lost Ksh67 million in a land dispute with court details showing how the deal unraveled.
The former Thika United striker – and his girlfriend, Akinyi - sued Captain Real Estate Company over its refusal to hand over a Nairobi land to them even after settling the agreed money.
The company refused to honour its end of the bargain to affect the transfer of the property to Grace Akinyi and myself," Olunga said, as quoted by The Standard.

"They have been consistently treating us with false promises, only to realise that they had advertised the property on social media sites and sold it to a third party.
"Despite the demand to reimburse back our money or transfer the property to us, the company consistently started treating us to promises and counter promises without any action,"
"Our advocate then wrote to the company, asking for a refund, but they did nothing. They were notoriously enjoying possession of our money and using the property at our expense."
Olunga’s lawyer, Elvis Majani, told the court that the estate company breached the contract and even attempted to sell the same parcel of land to a third party.
"The company breached the contract by failing to complete the transfer of the property after accepting considerable money from Olunga with the knowledge that they were not intending to transfer the said property after being paid," said Majani.
In the end, the former Gor Mahia star and Captain Real Estate Company agreed to settle the matter outside of court.
"Since the parties in the dispute have informed the court that they have reached an agreement and filed a consent to settle the dispute, the case will be marked as settled and withdrawn from court.
"Their consent dated February 27, 2023, settling the dispute, will be adopted as an order of this court," Justice Mabeya, of Milimani Law Courts, said.
