This was because he built the house on land he does not owned.
Leni made some last minute attempts to put a stay on the High Court ruling that ordered him to leave the house.
But he had no further grounds to support his argument and in the end, the judge rejected his case.
Sad as it may, this case highlights the importance of operating within the perimeters of the law and doing the right thing.
Whether you are a government minister, a businessman, a leader or just an ordinary person, the law is there for all of us.
Leni had earlier argued he got the title of the land from the Commissioner of Land.
But as the courts later found, the process through which he acquired the land was not right.
This is because the title of the land was already in the name of Levers Solomons Ltd.
If Leni wants to acquire that piece of land to build his home, the first people to approach is Levers Solomons Ltd.
He did not and now he undoubtedly would regret his action.
This is an important lesson for all.
Now that police have moved in to secure the home, Leni and family members have to accept the fact that the courts have ruled and that they must respect the decisions.
To react negatively by throwing stones at the home, as some did on Wednesday, would only bring them against the law again.
Our laws are supreme. They must be respected at all times.
