A Mombasa court has barred the family of the late famous ghostbuster Tsumah Wache alias Kajiwe from visiting his grave, saying he was buried on someone else's piece of land. Kajiwe died a mythical figure in 1993 after decades as a feared exorcist and buster. He stoked fear and awe across Coast and Kenya as a whole for decades over his expertise in the clairvoyant sciences. Kajiwe's family has been battling a Mombasa firm, PN Mashru, since 2013 to be allowed to access the grave in Mazeras, Kilifi County.

The family sued the firm claiming it occupied the land after it was sold fraudulently by Kajiwe's brother, Said Wache Guro. The firm sought court orders to bar Kajiwe's children from visiting the grave, accusing them of trespass. Kajiwe's children have lost the case after Justice Silas Munyao declared that Mombasa tycoon who bought the property from Kajiwe’s brother was the rightful owner of the land. “The defendants are hereby permanently restrained whether by themselves or through their servants, employees or agents, from entering land known as Mgumo Pasta Mazeras,” ruled Justice Munyao.

He made the ruling after adopting the submissions of the parties who had differed over the ownership of the land.  PN Mashru had sued Kajiwe’s children - Mumba Kajiwe, Bepia Kajiwe and Mkauma Saha - accusing them of trespassing into its land. The company said it had bought the land in 2009. The company barred the defendants from entering the land, whose managers said had 42 flats which had been developed for its employees.
