Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff claimed to have purchased immovable property from the late Clever Nzanza through a verbal agreement recorded in a diary, which he sought to enforce against the deceased's estate. The second defendant, as executor and son of the deceased, denied any sale and counter-claimed for eviction, asserting the plaintiff was merely a tenant.
