On the morning of May 16, 2025, more than 15 police officers and approximately 150 hired individuals descended on Senteu Plaza along Lenana Road in Nairobi's Kilimani area. Accompanied by auctioneers from Siuma Auctioneers, they entered the first floor of the building where Chris Obure's company SBS Dunhill Group (EA) Limited had operated since 2017, removed the occupants and changed the locks. When the dust settled, Obure's company alleged that something else had gone missing too: hundreds of kilograms of gold bars, valued at between Sh5.5 billion and Sh5.9 billion, said to be a family investment stored on the premises.
