Prophet Owuor is embroiled in a property scandal that involves a huge sum of money. The self-proclaimed prophet is involved in a vicious tussle with a family over the control and occupancy of a Sh1.5 billion property in Westlands, Nairobi.

According to the family, Prophet Owuor and his Repentance and Holiness Ministry have forciby seized the multi-storeyed apartments along the upscale Rhapta Road in Westlands and the leafy suburb of Riverside Drive.

But Owuor's lawyer Kimani Watenga, denied that there was a plot to defraud the Muthoni of her property. He said that Muthoni had "voluntarily" appointed Njage, a close friend and church colleague, to help her run the property after she developed "memory problems". He said:

The least the family can do to Macharia and the church is to thank them because not a single property in Njage's name or any other has been transferred to the church.
