Metropol TV’s office and studio equipment was seized during an auctioneers search, and the TV station then proceeded to sell the confiscated items to pay off its obligations.
According to information obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, the media company has amassed enormous debts, and the creditors have hired auctioneers to help them recover the money they are owed.
