A man who was involved in a land fight with Deputy President William Ruto has died in Nairobi.
Adrian Gilbert Muteshi died on Tuesday.
“It is with a deep sense of gratitude to say farewell to our beloved Adrian …who passed away in Nairobi,” an obituary in one of the local dailies read.
The obituary did not however reveal the cause of death of the 86-year-old.
The deceased friends and relatives are expected to meet at the United Kenya Club starting tomorrow, Thursday from 5 pm to 7 pm.
“…funeral programs will be announced shortly,” the obituary read.
Muteshi was displaced from Eldoret during the 2007 post-election violence and his farm was taken away from him.
Muteshi accused the Deputy President of unlawfully taking his 100-acre farm in Uasin Gishu and sought the intervention of the court.
The High Court in Nairobi ruled that Muteshi had been deprived of his property and William Ruto unlawfully acquired the piece of land.

In turn, DP Ruto was ordered to pay Sh5 million to Mr. Muteshi for illegally occupying his land.
The Deputy President through his lawyers said he was an unsuspecting buyer who heard of the piece being sold and conducted due diligence before buying it from people he believed were the owners of the firm.
