Previously I made a post soliciting for funds to pay my rent, I somehow raised the money and paid for an apartment somewhere else.

I've waited for days for the agent/caretaker in charge of the house to let me move in (the agreement was that I give him few days to fix somethings in the house) all to no avail.

I realised his phone was usually off and most times he wouldn't even pick. When he finally did, he asked me to meet him at Jikwoyi police station and that he's been arrested. He wanted me to come and write my name In the list of those he's owing.

It wasn't my first time hearing him say he's was arrested,but I thought he was giving excuses for delaying the renovation.

I got to the police station at Jikwoyi, the crowd was much (it was my first time in a police station) and so I felt it was a norm, of course people go get issues. When I saw him, the police woman asked if I was Scammed too... I was lost for 15 seconds. "I don't even know what's happening ma" then she said, "everyone you see outside was Scammed by him" we were over 40 people.. as at Thursday the amount of money he has collected from same house summed up to 12 million plus...

A man I met there had a story similar to mine, and he was asking the man in question what he wants him to do currently, as they do not have a roof over their head (himself and his newly married wife) one guy fro Auchi is currently devastated too, he got a job here in Abuja.. paid for a house only to realise the money has gone Into thin air..

My worries:
1. He gave the police his smart phone to sell for him so he could feed himself, and they sold it without thinking.
2. He only has 200k in his account and there's court order in the 200k (meaning he cannot withdraw it)
3. His girlfriend uses an iPhone 13 and she brings him food from time to time... and the police aren't still thinking .. I don't know why they've not even printed his statement of account yet to know where all the money went to. A good number of us paid to him and the rest paid to a lady's account
4. He has asked the police to charge him to court so he can go to prison. (His reason being that he's a walking corpse)

Damn.

I lost 450k recover 200k back for house matter

@ OP Where did this happen?

Abuja. If you're in Abuja I could take you to the police station so you'd see for yourself

The kind laugh I burst out after reading your number 3 eh, e fit cure depression.

700k live and direct

FaithELEFAN:

Seriously? I mentioned Jikwoyi police station, I stated figures.. I haven't asked you for money so why would I lie?

Seriously.. it's funny and sad at the same time. When I saw him at the police station, I couldn't look at him.. I literally knelt down to thank this guy after he accepted my rent. The narrative was that the owner of the house is his boss.. and whatever amount he collects from the tenants would be accepted by the landlord. To think the same man who I narrated my story to and the reason I needed to move my family quickly would hurt me in such a manner?

Ignore the kids saying nonsense. They are still being fed. They don't know how far.


Sorry my guy. Chai

I fell in love with the kitchen, I'm a food blogger.. I had already imagined making sumptuous meals there and how a new environment would change our lives for a while...

When I entered the small room where he sat barefooted, I was like "Good afternoon Sir " and I could literally see one of the guys there strangle me with his eyes.. I felt he was an officer on mufti cause he looked too serious and sat directly opposite the man. It was after the police woman asked if I was Scammed too that he even spoke to me

He thought I was the said girl who brings him food... I probably wouldn't have left the station whole

It's well. The red flag is paying for rent to an individual account. God will see you through. Make they collect that Iphone 13 from that girl first.

Two heads are better than one. This has got to be my first (personal) experience. I believe there are people who have gone through worse and their ideas,suggestions would go a long way. Words of encouragements too wouldn't be a bad idea (from those who can) because to be sincere this period has been the worst for me.

I wouldn't mind getting a physical hug too, because I'm not okay as it stands.

I don't know why they've not done that. She hasn't showed up again tho.. tomorrow I'll know if there's an update

This is a prelude for another online fund raising abi?

Who's they? Who are they? Why would I want to write good stories tho? When I needed assistance, I came out plain to say I needed one.. I'm in a mess and all I need right is suggestions, ideas, on how I can get my money back...

Where else do you want to pay your rent? I have been paying to individual accounts all my life.

You're still asking? He wants another donation sharp sharp,no time to check time
Where are all the Nairaland philanthropists,your attention are needed again

They work hand in hand with the police.

This scam method has been on for ages.

I av seen one close to where I was staying then in ketu.

Going to court is usually the only way, u people will believe that u will get your money back, but the truth is.. it is the end of that chapter.

U will visit the station tire. After that u all will rest, he will be release and look for another location to strike again.

It's mostly common with developers.

Some agent are heartless, reason why I like transacting directly with the owner of the property.
