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.

abeg keep quiet. Is chief layi an igboman? Lagos is not yorubaland. Its confirmed. U cant do anything about it

meforyou1:
who are the indigenes of lagos?

Alexis11:
Thank you.... one of their major plan is also to sow seed of discord between Yorubas and other ethnic groups...

The Binis are falling for that already.

laudate:
Oga, your name cannot be Etiosa. It is likely to be Etinosa. And Etinosa means "Strength of God”, in Bini language. It is totally different from Eti-osa, which is a Yoruba word.

Alexus23:
This is very stupid. I don't see the Romans claiming the British Island now, because she was once her colony. But, any stupid Afonja that drags igbos into this stupid argument, nmaya.

ProWalker:
Ibo boy
Why do you people lie through your teeth without shame like this?
Your expedition towards the west marked your death knelt
At Ore alone, ibo lost over 50 men in one single day and more than 750,000 in your misadventure.
We will always beat you anytime you carry your madness pass Igbo land. That was the only time you ventured out and that was the only time you suffered the heaviest lost.
You’ve been crying for revenge and you will get it in worst form than was given to you

The Igbo National Council, INC, has demanded that the position of the Vice President, currently occupied by Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (South West) be given to an Igbo man if President Muhammdu Buhari truely values the supports of the people of the South East in the next election.

This followed the proposed plan for President Buhari to visit Southeast states.

In a statement in Owerri, the Imo State capital, the INC President, Chilos Godsent, said it was the only way the ruling party could get the votes of the people of the region in the 2019 general elections.

According to Godsent, under the All Progressives Congress, APC, the region has been deliberately marginalized.

The statement read, “The Igbo National Council INC has long x-rayed the performances of PMB and also the fulfillment of their campaign promises to Southeast region.

“The INC is of the view that the PMB-led federal government has abysmally failed the Southeast due to marginalization of the zone by the government.
“Consequently, INC’s condition for the South East to support PMB for second term is that APC should zone its Vice President ticket to South East.”

Nonsense
Fashola did same thing as Lagos governor and when caught would say he did not sign the cheques.

TheKingIsHere:
You see, when they cant argue constructively they start to throw insults. You can cry me a river but fact is Lagos belongs to the Benin Kingdom. Pele.

But a good news is that osogbo is purely yoruba land.

giftq:
Lagos population is 51% Igbo

TheKingIsHere:
No one is disputing the part of the aworis.. But say the truth as it is, the people of Benin were predominantly in Lagos. Even this professor stated it clearly that:



So, the aworis were there no doubt but majority of the populace were Benin.

The oba of Lagos should give more lecture on this.

The history is very simple but you guys have decided to close your ears to the truth. I tell the truth as it is even if am Yoruba.

Aworis predominantly Fisher men are Decendants of Olofin who migrated from Ile-ife to that space called Eko, the Bini Empire only got into the history when they were invited by the locals to defend them against Dahomey invasion and constant raid.
Oba of Benin sent soldiers to protect them and the indigenes(Awori a Yoruba group) asked them to stay and rule over them. Prior to then, there was no established kingship so the Benin emissaries started the kingship and named it Eko(War Camp).

Benin people did not migrate to occupy Lagos just a few emissaries like Obanikoro.
Many generations down the line the Oba didn't bare a Son, so an indigene Awori had to marry his daughter and that was how the kingship returned to Aworis.

Oba Kosoko,Dosunmu,Oyekan,Akiolu are all Aworis not Benin.

You also have to understand that Lagos state is different from Lagos Colony the British used as the seat of administration. That Lagos Colony is what the Benin emissaries named Eko.

After amalgamation, part of the Western region was merged with the Lagos Colony to form Lagos State.

So Lagos is a Yoruba land because the Oba of Lagos himself is an Awori a Yoruba man.

Oba of Lagos is not the Oba of the entire Lagos he is the Oba of Lagos Island but if you are familiar with Lagos life they called Lagos Island "Lagos"cos that's where it all started from.

Odingo1:
From the history Lagos cannot be said to be a Yoruba land rather some part of it is a yoruba land, [/b]that is why Oba of Lagos said lagos is not a yoruba land. [b],Anybody saying that the entire lagos is a yoruba land is just dumb.

IamLaura:
For those who did not read but decided to rush to comment,He was talking to the OBA OF LAGOS who said Lagos is not part of YorubaLand.
