The Armenian brothers who featured in the mercenaries saga are now
embroiled in a rent dispute with their landlord.

Mr Sammy Mutinda Musyoki has sued Artur Margaryan and Artur Sargasyan,
through their company Brotherlink International Ltd, demanding about
Sh800,000.

His application under a certificate of urgency is set to be heard by
Justice Festus Azangalala this morning at the Nairobi High Court.

In the application, Musyoki says he risks losing the money for breach
of tenancy agreement and attempts by the Armenian brothers to leave
the country. He wants them to be directed to deposit the money as
security for eventual decree in the suit.

Alternatively, Musyoki wants warrants of arrests against the two to
be issued, and they be restrained from removing their property from
the house situated on Glory Road, in Runda Estate, pending the hearing
and determination of the suit.
