Until recently, estate lands used to be very secured and safer in Abuja, but not anymore.

Before you lose your hard earned money, please read.

There's been sharp rise in cases of frauds associated with estate lands in Abuja.

The cases are everywhere.

Here's how these fake real estate companies operate.

They send scouts out to look for fallow lands all over town.

Once they identify any, they will now contact their corrupt partners in FCDA, AMAC and AEGIS.

These corrupt government officials collect huge bribes and reproduce fake approval documents for these fake companies.

The companies will then bribe development control unit and law enforcement within the locality so that when anyone comes with complaints, they will frustrate the person until he or she eventually gets tired and leave.

These fake real estate companies doesn't stop there, they bribe Gbagyi youths and chiefs of the locality to help support them.

In all these, the Minister of FCT is not in the know.

Areas with most fake real estate in Abuja are Lugbe, Jikwoyi Extension, Katampe Extension and Airport road.

Worst is Jikwoyi Extension. There was never any allocation for mass housing in and around Jikwoyi or Jikwoyi Extension.

Buying estate lands around that place is at the detriment of the subscribers or buyers.

All the real estate thieves there are grabbing individuals lands.

No matter how long, houses in those fake estates would be marked and demolished.

Solution:

1. Request for Minister's approval from the government offices alone.

2. Ask individuals within the community about the history of the place.

3. Conduct background check about the company.

4. Runaway when you see haggard looking local security personnel or vigilantes guarding the property.

5. Get the company to sign an agreement for full refund in any event of legal trouble.

6. Request for original land use approval of the place before you commit money.

dominique, mukina2

I was a victim, uptil now, no refund.

Kurudu is anoda area.. We had a plat there for years and when I went there recently to check out the plot it has been fenced over by one Hilton estate... They annex plots belonging to people with the aid of their cronies in FCDA and othe FCT agencies

A friend in the office told me they marked their village in Apo Primary. Two different sets of people came to mark a large number of houses for demolition. The second set literally cancelled the first marking accordingly. Are they the same fraudulent team in operation? How can he report them?

Unfortunately, even before the start grabbing people's lands, they would have bribed the local chiefs, development control office, police DPOs and Gbagyi youths.

Best is to approach police command in Central Area, but you will be ready to part with some cash before they accept to start operations.

Another thing is to approach the court. But this process is very long and cumbersome.

This present FCT Minister is just there doing nothing about these land grabbers masquerading as real estate companies.
