Despite being arraigned on assault charges related to a dispute over a multimillion-dollar Karen mansion, Gospel singer Ringtone Apoko's legal troubles do not seem to end. The situation continues to unfold, and it remains to be seen how the case will progress in the future.
Pamela hitmaker and the Sudanese family of Kongkong Paulino Matip, Gabriel Paulino Matip, and John Paulino Matip are locked in a legal struggle over the multimillion-dollar property title, L.R No 65555 (Karen).
In a demand letter drafted by their lawyer Musyoki Kimanthi, the Matips assert their right to the property that is currently in their father's name.

Kimanthi Advocates' three clients have accused Ringtone of illegally occupying, destroying, and depriving them use of their property in a demand letter dated Wednesday, July 26.
A portion of the letter reads, "Our clients are the legal and beneficial owners of the above-mentioned property which is now registered in the name of their late father, having bought the same from one Judith Guserwa sometime in 2010"
After their father passed away, the complainants say they travelled to South Sudan to attend his funeral and stayed there for a while to deal with life's other pressing concerns.
They allege that they left a caretaker in charge of the Karen house and other valuables in the compound.
The Matips said they had sent money for upkeep of the property even after they learned it was now in the hands of a stranger, eventually identified as Apoko.
One of them, Kongkong Matip, visited Nairobi in 2016 and attempted to enter the property but was turned away. At that point, it became clear that you had entered the property illegally and had been pretending to be the owner.
The complainants said through their attorney, "You even went ahead to make structural changes to the property, adding unlicensed structures within the compound and leasing the same to strangers."
