He is among two investors fighting over the ownership of Kindaruma Mall.
Chen De, a director of Kindaruma Mall Limited, claims that he invested in the mall's construction after Shao asked him for help, claiming he had run out of money to pump in.
Chen De said he invested a total of Sh90 million and at the time, the mall was only 30% completed.
He added that the two had agreed to form a joint company Kindaruma Mall Limited to run the property, which tenants had been paying rent to.
However, earlier this year, he accused Shao Guixiang, a director of Good Choice Garage Limited, of issuing an eviction notice to the tenants.

On his part, Shao claimed that Kindaruma Mall Limited does not own the property and therefore did not have the authority to rent out the property or issue leases.
In 2022, he was among five Chinese nationals who were arrested and convicted for being in the country illegally.
