I don't believe this story at all.


First, if this is true, then is either the buyer stole this money from someone else or he is simply an ingrate ...

Doubts..

1. How can one purchase a land without verifying the C/O? And a land of this scale? Hellooooo?
2. How can one buy this kind of land without involving a lawyer?
3. How can police charge the case to a mere magistrate court? Are u kidding me?
4. How can one pay for a property without even siting it?
5. Why is the case not referred to EFCC
6. This is a fake story jor

A US-based Nigerian businessman was dazed in Lagos, when land agents led him to the lagoon after the part-payment for 150 plots offered for N787.5 million.

Kennedy Chukwuemeka Nwabuoku told detectives led by DCP Abutu Yaro, at the Force Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department (FCIID), Alagbon, how he had paid N577, 590, 792 in installments among other charges, plus another N18million for bush clearing in February, and how the agents were sending him pictures and videos of caterpillars in action at the purported site at Ifedele Agunbiade Village, Sangotedo, in Eti-Osa area of Lagos.
Nwabuoku told the police that he bought the unseen land with a foreign partner and had paid in fiduciary trust, sending monies on different occasions through his company, KenBouk Global Investment Ltd.

Identified as Emeka Okoronkwo and Michael Owolabi Alonge, the agents, according to Nwabuoku, had offered the land for sale at N5, 250, 000 per plot with Certificate of Occupancy (C of O).

CollegegistNG learnt that members of Nwabuoku’s family in Nigeria who wanted to see the site were told that the land was in an area bought by prominent Nigerians like former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Oba Riliwanu Akiolu, and it was cordoned off so that ordinary citizens could not gain access.

When he became suspicious, Nwabuoku sent the C of O to a friend to verify, and the friend found that no such land or location described in the document existed.

He decided to visit Nigeria and inspect the land for which he had paid the property agent, Okoronkwo, who was identified as owner of Kings Court Realtors at Plot 321A, Akin Ogunlewe Street, Victoria Island.

When he was quizzed by the police on November 8, 2017, Okoronkwo allegedly admitted that he collected N603, 000, 000 for 100 plots, agency fees and legal fees through transfers to Kings Court Realtors’ accounts in two banks.

Detectives found that Nwabuoku transferred the monies in the following order over a period: N229, 000, 000, N86, 000, 000, N120, 000, 000, N41, 300, 000, N11, 291, 000, and N90, 000, 000.
They also found that the C of O given to Nwabuoku is a fake one, and that Alonge who introduced him to Okoronkwo “masterminded the fraud”.

According to the detectives, fictitious persons were listed in the Deed of Assignment that the suspected fraudsters also gave to Nwabuoku.

When Nwabuoku arrived and insisted he must see the site before further payments, Alonge allegedly took him to a location far inside a wooded area that led to the lagoon with canoes going back and forth.

“Mr Michael Owolabi Alonge started pointing around and towards the lagoon, as if he was not sure where the land is anymore,” Nwabuoku stated in his petition to the police.

When Nwabuoku, who had been given no receipt, asked for a refund, he said that the suspects had threatened to kill him if he fails to keep quiet on the transaction.

Detectives have completed their investigation and the matter has been charged to court with Sgt Morufu Animashaun as police lawyer.

CollegegistNG learnt that Alonge is on the run.

There was an arrest warrant for Okoronkwo who allegedly received the payments, and he will appear in court on December 5.

The case is pending before Chief Magistrate (Mrs) Abimbola Komolafe of Magistrate Court 3, Igbosere, in Lagos.

This is why the flat headed parasites call lagos no mans land to create confusion to perpetrate scams like this. It is the responsobility of the lagos state government to make policy to reduce the activities of this people forthwith and remove them from lagos through creation of database of these animals.lobatan.

Yes, the man that was duped did not do enough due deligence, however the FOOLS are the fraudsters not him.

What youths of today failed to realise is that some of our grandparents built wealth in trade based on TRUST only and nothing else.

In 60s up till late 70s, whitemen do send goods to Nigerians, they sell, make profit and send the money to a trade partner they most times have not met.

We can blame government all we want be we all should praise the man for still having trust in Nigerians and convince him as a people we are not all like this instead of calling him a FOOL.

If the guys have done a honest transaction with him, they get referals and will build a genuine business empire

We should see this as an oppourtunity lost. The business man may or may not get his money back but as a people we all have lost something imortant that is a critical ingredient for PROGRESS, TRUST.

I hope we all think deeply about this as a people.

Let me just laugh. cheesy grin

The Nwabuoke of a man isn't street smart. Why pay for a land you haven't seen in a country like Nigeria?...You'd still have to ask questions before paying after site seeing the plots you want.
True. Money miss road. He was lucky he wasn't kidnapped and killed to close everything. So risky and stupid a transaction. Haba.

Well, it serves him right.

Some will ask why.

Well, he should have seen what he is paying for.

He should have as well involve a member of his family. B4 any payment, the person should see and verify, there is no how ur family will chop all ur money like that.

i doubt the buyer's identity. how can an igbo pay such an amount without seeing the land or even sending his people to see the land. Next time, travel down to Nigeria to check out the so called land and make an enquiry before paying.
