Truth is, almost every lady out there has been molested by one man they respect so much. I could recall I had same experience with my LGI, in fact it was a battlefield to the extent that I had to involve the NYSC State Director before I was finally freed from him as he threatened me with serving extra months. God really fought for me that year, all because I refused to sleep with him and he also tried to kiss me forcefully in his office but I pushed him off. Men ehnnn... Some of them are wolves.

Nawa oooo..... I guess because she is a celebrity, many people like me who just got defrauded need that money too

I need this Gofundme more

Very smart move. I pray EFCC isn't compromised too. Cos people like this have very long legs.

You are right, but I believe no matter how long his legs are, e no fit reach Heaven. By His Grace, this time he would be totally dealt with so no one falls for his scams again.

Franky826:
So @becaciabarbie I read another story on Naijapals that the fraudsters have been caught? How true is this?

Yes, and many saw him but this is just another tricky plan and we almost fell for it. He knows going to the police would mean taking the case to court which could take forever like the previous people he duped in the past as people would get tired, frustrated and move on with their lives! so we ain't buying the police thing, reason we want to file a petition fast to EFCC.

k

We wanted to, but we already contacted PPC and Ministry of justice so they asked us not to contact EFCC. You can try EFCC.

I just checked the Whatsapp group we created then. The news about this current scam at Ketu was posted there, and the pictures of some of the scanners was also posted. Some of the victims of our own scam are confirming that it is the same group of guys. Some of them said they paid into the account of that Mr Adewale Prince. All of them including that Alhaji Garba are working together. You remember when I told you they were building another house in Ikorodu, I think it's Ketu. Those guys are professional scammers. They are up to 10.

I suggest you guys leave police, use EFCC or an authority that they cannot get to. Because if you ask me, I will say all the police stations in that area has been sabotaged.

You have no idea what this info has done for us......infact ehnnn....God bless you so much. We want to write a petition to EFCC as they requested for that, hopefully by God's Grace this will work. And seriously? same fraudsters? so right now, they are planning same somewhere else I guess....NEVER!!!!

Offpoint1:
Before I commented on threads I always gone the ops previous threads to ascertain the genuiness of their stories.

From my findings so far, this thread is nothing but a bunch of lies.

Op is a yahoo guy claiming pharmacist... all these fraudsters ehnn.... God will surely deal with them all.

Hi guys, please I'd need guidance or assistance or sample of a joint petition to EFCC.
I have an idea on how to write a single petition but joint? So my question is:

Do I need to type out the names of all the victims involved on a separate sheet, creating a gap for each person's signature or do I sign on behalf of everyone?

I just need your guidance please....i know most would refer me to a Lawyer, I know this already but still need your guidance.

Thanks.

Naijalastson:

Pls if i may ask... How is APC treating Orji Uzo Kalu? Because I do not understand what you are trying to say...
For your information, Orji Uzo Kalu will be in Senate for the first time and according to the constitution, first term senators are not given any post...
Which constitution Abeg are you quoting because is definitely not Nigerians

Hello.....

The case is still in court. The last hearing date was June 5th, Salah day. It did not hold. That was after it was fixed on a previous public holiday in April, I think Easter or so. It did not hold. Before that April date, it was fixed on a court free day around February or so. It didn't hold. This is how him and the judge keep fixing the hearing on public holidays. The next date now is September. I have forgotten the particular date. Imagine that. They want us to give up, and their plan is working cos many has given up. But we have decided to take the case out of that court in Yaba, to the high court in Ikeja.

Initially, we instituted a civil case, which will only recover our money and the man might go free. Then we wanted our money back. This was the advice of some lawyers we contacted. Later on, we decided to take the case to Ikeja, and change it to a criminal case. According to lawyers also, this may not recover our money, but if the man is convicted, he would go to jail. At this point, we don't care much about the money but we want the man to be jailed.

About the house, we also thought that it would be sealed, sold and the money realized would be used to refund us. But, this is Nigeria. nothing happened. people are still living there till now.

This happened last year July. It's getting to one year now. I even created a thread for it here.

From his facebook account which he still operates, we discovered that he is building another house in Ikorodu, probably with the money he scammed from us. I just pity people that will be paying him upfront. Also, he is not alone. They are up to 5 to 10 men in the business. He has changed his facebook name to Alhaji Sonibare. The guy is a serial Scammer.


Nigeria is a very funny country. Scammers work with the law enforcement agencies.

My sister, this is not to discourage you, but plan ahead. Don't put all your hopes there. Better things are ahead.

Wow! Did you try EFCC?

[quote author=Youngsage post=79690444]




Sorry dear [/quoteThanks alot, trying my best to write a petition to EFCC.

koolengrtimmy:
Sorry for your loss,

Where is the location of that property

We need to blacklist this to avoid others falling for this.

It's better to get a court order to sell off that property to refund those who were scam.

Thank you....

The location is Ketu-Alapere, Elebiju side.

You think they could get a court order to sell the property? I'd be happy if this is possible.

Hotfreezers:
If possible, you guys should go and report him to Mc Oluomo in Oshodi. Forget Police, forget Efcc. With Police, you can NEVER get a penny out of that money.

He would be begging you people to come take your money.

Mad situations require mad measures.

Hummmmm I thought of that too...

SocialJustice:
Sorry N260k is reasonable sum but I meant when you start pursuing justice, you could spend that much overtime and you may not even get refunded in the end. I'm just being honest with you. Justice in Nigeria is not cheap, you could still get lucky though and get refunded without court process.

Kaiiiiii But why? What kind of wickedness could make one scam over 200 families, knowing fully well that they struggled so much to get that money and may not have any other option! Wickedness at it's very peak!!!!

SocialJustice:
Now, this is something. Wonderful! Those crooks hit it big time. Please do not delay with police, rather gather evidence from everyone that was duped, get a lawyer, seek legal advice and sue.

I repeat, do not let police you cajole you guys with investigation, they will just be seeking means to ask for money and in the end they will charge the case to court. You all already have a strong case of fraud that can be proven in court. Gather yourselves, get a single reasonably good lawyer and sue.

You'll most likely not get your money back but putting these guys in jail will be worth it.

Not getting our money back isn't something I want to be told... Oh goodness....i seriously pray we do and also get justice to avoid cases like this again in the future. This is sad.... Not even the police can be trusted, I see why we have many criminals walking freely around and spending people's hard earned money lavishly.

mastar111:


Same thing happened to me last year. A so called Alhaji Garba with his guys scammed up to 300 of us. up to 50 million was scammed from us. Same processes u guys are taking. The Alhaji has been in that business for years. The day we were asked to come and collect keys, we got there to see that all the flats has already been occupied. We went to the police to write statement. To show you that these guys know this job, the Alhaji reported himself to the police at Ikoyi. He has bribed the police. We did all we can. The case went to court.

Long story cut short, the case is still in court since last year. I believe he has bribed the judge cos the woman keep adjourning our case. She keeps fixing the cases on public holidays (when courts don't sit). Many of us have given up. A lot has left the Whatsapp group we created. We contacted the government, Ministry of justice Alausa, PPC, went to the radio, made publicity on newspaper, did a whole lot of things. The man is still walking free. Sometimes, I feel like believing Nigeria is a sh!t.hole.

Personally I have lost interest in the case. I've moved on to a better place.

As I read thru this thread, I remember that experience.
Lessons to learn are

1. Don't ever pay for an apartment under construction, or an apartment that you won't get the keys at the point of payment.

2. Always verify stuffs from Google. (it was after I have realized that I have been scammed that I typed the man's name on Google to discover that a lot of complaints have been made regarding that name, because the man is a serial fraudstar)

3. Nigerian police and judges work with Fraudstars.

My advice is, as much as you are fighting to recover your money, don't put all your hope there, so that you may not be disappointed, because it might take time.

I wish justice will be served swiftly so you guys can be refunded.

Woooooow God please help us oooo....i can't even imagine this! Seriously, and the case is still being dragged? What about the house? I was hoping they will seal up the house and put it up for sale, so we could get our money back!

dominique:


The group has been compromised, there will be more than one snatches on there by now monitoring your every progress to plan their next move.

Tell the admin to delete the group and start another one asap. He should make sure that new members can only be added by admins and not through links. Whoever is added to the group must be thoroughly vetted before they're added.

Thank you so much...you've been so helpful.

The admin has started this already, as you can't join the group unless you show your receipt but that could be manipulated too, at least it is a step. Thanks a whole lot!!!

SocialJustice:
Wow. How many of you paid N260k each to the agents? N260k on it's own isn't much to go through the stress of fighting a crime syndicate but if the fraud is up to a million then it makes more sense.

Most times these hardened criminals won't even mind going to prison but if they are scared of prison then going to court will scare them and you'll get your money back.

Just hope for the best.

260k isn't much? I don't think so

Many paid 300k and above.... Based on the statement at the station on Saturday, the total amount was 15million naira, should be twice the amount now as most people just discovered they have been scammed 3 days after.

Abcruz:


Take heart. The joy of the LORD is your strength and you will certainly recover all that you have lost in the hand of that fraudster.

"There is no peace for the wicked," says the LORD.--Isaiah 48:22

Amennnnnn!!!! Thank you so much! God bless!!!

armadeo:


Well my advice came late. Plug and play. Once you pay collect keys straight and change the locks and put up curtains even if it's old bedsheets on the windows facing outside.

Lagos is full of thieves.

Now I believe many people are living on others hard earned money.

armadeo:


When next you step into that house collect the keys and tell them you'll clean up yourself. Never ever pay and wait. House is plug and play. Learnt this the hard way.

Get the keys call carpenter change the door lock. Then it's yours. Anything else is story.

Also next time dont go alone go with one or two others. It's easier to intimidate a lone female but once you're two it gets harder.

Good luck.

Thank you so much...i'll sure use this advice when next I'm looking for an apartment, I just hope this happens soon...

SocialJustice:
Sure and they could be repeat offenders becoming police customers in the process. And the fraudsters will always be ahead. How much is the amount paid?

Exactly! Just tonight we discovered one of the agents is on our whatsapp list, spying and monitoring our discussions but got busted when we noticed how he was making every effort to frustrate our plans! His picture was revealed and many people confirmed his identity.

260k actually...

vivalavida:


Sorry for your ordeal dear

Thanks a lot....

MrMcJay:


You guys should jointly write a petition to the Efcc or Special Fraud Unit in Ikoyi.

Exactly, we have done this I believe....Thank you so much, you tried to help....

SocialJustice:
Wow. Police self will most likely mess up everything because the only thing they are interested in is not resolving the case but extracting money from both sides.

The best hope of getting the money is having the police charge the case to court, all these will also cost money.

Infact, I have a feeling the police in that district must have been settled by these fraudsters, though I am not sure about this, but as a fraudster if I had my way , i'd first settle the police in that area, because I know that would be the first place my victims would go to.

vivalavida:


Chai

Did u pay cash or by account?

If account,try and flag their account with their bank

By transfer...we are on that...thank you, but according to the bank he has cleared all his accounts.

CyberWolf:
I’m even angry with OP because her body language shows she is very unserious ... You created a thread since 17th and you were advised to collect your money immediately and you’re there doing Sisi.. Person wey you go hold for neck immediately and demand instant refund, gather boys to panel beat him and even threaten to roast him alive, you’re there doing smesme ... Well your eyes have cleared now and just to be honest with you because you don’t like taking honest advise.. Forget about the money because it’s gone for good.

Oh no, if you had gone through my post carefully, you have read where I made mention that we are two involved and he didn't believe me because he made the payment! he kept defending them, turning down my fears and seeing me as being weak, as he was scared of losing the apartment due to my fears. infact, he got angry when I had misunderstandings with them because I took pics of the man in charge. Every time I go there, he gets pissed....now I am sure he is wishing he listened to me, but now isn't the time for blames...everyone is hurting.

muffyt05:
You've been scammed brother. Same thing happened to a friend some years back. We both saw a building under construction, almost completed though and after meeting with the estate agents and shown round the building, my guy decided he was going for the apartment. Payment was made( guy was coerced to pay promptly in order to be able to secure the flat as others have been coming) and receipt issued. I began to sense a foul play when the keys weren't given immediately but my friend dispelled my concern as nothing.
A date was given to come for the keys and when we got there in the evening after work, it was really a sorry sight. Almost 200 people scammed and all were asked to come for keys that same day. Funny thing is, a lady moved all her belongings all the way from Ibadan thinking she was moving into her apartment that day. I also remember 2 families packing into a flat at the same time, come see fight as the 1st set of people to pack in locked themselves in their flats. It was really a bad day to remember. At the end of the day, we discovered that almost 200 people paid for apartments and the question on everyone's lips was how the agent guys executed the whole scam without any of the people meeting themselves.
To get a better view of the whole thing, google Oriola estate agents scam in Alapere, Ketu to know morehttps://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/07/16/duped-ketu-tenants-fight-back/

My mum told me same, reason my fear increased! she told me she saw them and she is certain this is also scam, but necessary actions weren't taken unfortunately.

SocialJustice:
Wow, well if you suspect foul play, get the numbers of those involved, try to know their house and close associates. You can't pay for a place and not collect the keys. Try verifying the address on the receipt with you. Do all these so you know who to arrest when the need arises. Nigeria is currently a terrible place, even people legitimately in a business won't hesitate to defraud if they see a mugu.

I really wish you guys the best.

They are on the run, but it seems the Alhaji has been arrested.

Carlyboi:
Just keep calm ok cooperation and the support of the high authorities will go a longway coupled with vital info of the people involved names which you already know photos,house address or location,office or place of work if any,family or spouses if applicable if you have all these info,all the police and Efcc is engaged by the state on your behalf those thieves wud be tracked down in due time provided they don’t leave town even if they move to another state or city in Nigeria they would still get caught if the law enforcers do their jobs diligently it might just take longer just continue to hope and pray they don’t leave the country...!!i am sorry bout your situation too babe.Just be very careful next time ok,the level of deceit and shady nature and ways of some Nigerians would make the saying by a philosopher that we should always doubt everything your number one maxim when dealing with some of our country ppl cos they’re extremely evil and heartless.

Thank you so muchhhh!!!!
