Chaos and panic as suspected hired goons occupy hospital
Patients and workers were thrown into panic on Friday after suspected hired goons forcefully occupied St. Mary’s Mission Hospital in Langata, Nairobi, disrupting medical services and sparking a heated confrontation over control of the facility.
According to reports, the hospital’s corridors and gates were swarmed by unidentified individuals as members of the current management clashed over the administration of the health facility, leaving vulnerable patients and healthcare workers caught in the crossfire of an escalating leadership crisis.
Witnesses described a chaotic morning with tension flaring as the intruders took control of the premises, forcing medical staff to work under distressing circumstances.
“They would have to work under the circumstances, but for now, he has agreed to pull out of the hospital until we have a meeting with a lawyer. But more importantly, what is critical is to maintain the flow of treatment on the patients which have been disrupted this morning,” a hospital representative stated.
The dramatic standoff follows a formal letter issued by Dr. William Charles Fryda, the hospital’s founder, through his legal counsel, Rono and Partners Advocates, demanding that the Business Registration Service comply with a High Court directive to reinstate Teresia Ndeto as a director and member of the company.

This escalation represents the latest chapter in a protracted legal and administrative battle over the hospital’s governance, which has spanned more than a decade.
In a letter dated December 16, 2025, Dr. Fryda formally warned the Business Registration Service (BRS) that continued failure to implement the court order risks contempt of court proceedings.
The warning followed Justice J.W.W. Mongare’s judgment on December 11, 2025, which upheld Ndeto’s resignation as a director and member of the company and permitted Dr. Fryda to nominate new subscribers to the hospital’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The court directed the Registrar of Companies to reinstate the entry reflecting Ms. Ndeto’s cessation as a director and member “on account of resignation” and restrained both the Registrar and the former director from making or recording any further changes contrary to the ruling, warning that disobedience would attract “penal consequences.”
Dr. Fryda has since submitted the names and documentation of four proposed members, including himself, stating that all statutory requirements had been met.
