This is a special SOS call to all NL'ers to help me with this issue. I have been a member of this forum for some time now and I have connected several members of this business to become business owners. Some members of this forum have met me in person on FMCG Distributorship business and advice. However, this is a request for help from well-meaning members to help me with any piece of advice concerning this matter.

I had contacts with a member of this forum in March 2012 (username: ekitikan) and we were discussing some businesses; vis a vis haulage and commercial transportation. His full real name is Gadeola Ajibade GADE-IDOWU. We met several times to discuss the business. He was living at Igando then. We met several times at Igando and LASU-OJO Road, Lagos. He is a graduate and talks very smoothly and intelligently.

We saw a truck and I agreed with the owner's son (The owner lives in the US) to pay N2,900,000. He also agreed to pay in two instalments. Unfortunately, the cheque I issued bounced becuase the FCMB account I was given by the owner's son was dormant. It was this time that the unfortunate thing happened. This was on April 20, 2012. He suggested that I transfer the money for the payment for the truck. He claimed that the truck was imported for him by the owner (after paying a deposit), but he wasn't able to complete the payment. I transferred N1,500,000 to his account on April 20, N570,000 on May 9 and then another N90,000 on May 21; and then the last N270,000. This made the total transfer N2,430,000! I have the account details of Gade and his wife, Grace Nike Gade-Idowu.

There wasn't any reason to doubt Gade at the beginning, until I started suspecting he didn't want to transfer all the money I had paid to the owner or his son. At first, he said he was in Sapele attending to a client and could not effect the transfer until he got back to Lagos. He postponed coming to Lagos twice and when he eventually came, he didn't make the transfer. That was when I discovered that he didn't travel out of the West. He kept lying and I had to connect to his family. Same day, I met his in-laws, uncle and mother. They said he had moved from Igando and everyone claimed they didn't know where he was.

Later, I got some help and discovered he had moved his nuclear family from the extended family to a rented apartment in Agbara! I located the house in Agbara and the vagabond had moved again. He kept promising to buy time. He had promised over ten times, but now he's nowhere to be found. He still picks calls and is still on this forum. He still posted a response on June 24, 2012. I have informed the office of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, but as usual, the police are very slow in their actions and reactions.

I will appreciate any advice from members of the forum. I will also appreciate if the Moderator can help put the post on the front page.

I will appreciate all the help I can get from fellow NL'ers.

Seriously. I think many Nigerians try to take advantage of you. There's no way you can do business and not deal with fellow business men. However, trust is the last word in your dictionary when you're dealing with these guys.

Too bad this people only get to spoil this buisness for the sincere dealers...so sad

And unfortunately, this guy still comes to Nairaland, and some other people might fall for these antics. He still visited Nairaland today at 12.13 am.
