Subscriber sues firm over alleged N4.036m fraud

A subs c r ibe r, A b r a h a m Omokanye, has dragged an estate firm, Gran Imperio Group, before an Igbosere High Court presided over by Justice A.J. Coker, over an alleged attempt to defraud him of N4.036 million through mortgage scam. Sued include are the Metropole Interproject Limited and the Managing Director of Gran Imperio Group, Mr. Adeyeye Ogunwusi. Omokanye in the suit marked, LD/267CMW/2015, is seeking an order directing the defendants severally and individually to pay him by certified bank draft the sum of N6,397,852.50, with interest at the rate of 35 per cent per annum before judgment and 19 per cent per annum from judgement until judgment was liquidated.

At the resumed hearing of the suit yesterday, a lawyer to the claimant, Chukwuemeka Amaghiro, informed the court that the matter was for hearing of all pending applications in the matter. However, lawyer to the defendants, Olanrewaju Jolaoso informed the court that his clients were already making frantic steps to settle the matter out of court.
He however urged the court for a short adjournment. Consequently, the presiding judge, Justice A. J. Coker adjourned further hearing in the matter to June 30, for report of settlement. Omokanye in his statement of claim filed before the court by his lawyer, Chukwuemeka Amaghiro, painted a picture on how he entered into a contract for the sale and purchase of one unit 3-bedroom house at the Essential Homes besides the Lakeview park 2, off Lekki-Epe Expressway. He added that under the said contract, the total offer price of the said property was N18,204,615 million, covering the unit price, connection fee, documentation fee and rent-to-own with 17 per cent interest.

He also averred that as part of conditions for the acceptance of offer, he was made to pay initial deposit of N4, 036, 500, while a balance of N14. 168, 115 was to be spread over a period of 36 months at N1.180, 676.25, every three months. He added that after accepting the offer, he paid the initial deposit of N4.036 million, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract in the month of July and October, 2014, respectively. But during the performance of the contract and sometimes in September, 2014, he was informed by the first defendant’s sales and marketing relations officer, Akinsanya Opemipo about the firm’s inability to make delivery of the property in October 2014 as earlier agreed upon, while the company pleaded with him to accept delivery in November, 2014.

The offer which he claimed was rejected. He further stated that following his rejection of the company’s plea and new terms and conditions for the property, he categorically informed the firm that he could only continue with the contract earlier signed, and that he refused to make any further payment due to the breach of contract. He added that the firm informed him that the particular property he paid initial deposit for was no longer available. Consequently, he is seeking an order compelling the defendants severally and individually to pay him by certified bank draft the sum of N6.397, 852.50, N10 million and N1.5 million, representing total payment made by him to the firm, including general and exemplary damages and the cost of filling the suit.

Responding, the defendants in their statement of defence filed before the court through their lawyer, Olanrewaju Jolaoso, while urging the court to discountenance the plaintiff ’s claim, stated that after its wide spread campaign and subsequent subscription to the clients, there was a sharp increase in the price of building materials, coupled with the fact that the estate was over-subscribed by large numbers of customers which led to acquisition of more land mass from the land owning family invariably increased the amount to be spent on amenities to be provided in the estate. They further stated that they never breached the terms of the offer but the initial terms were not workable due to resources required to develop the estate. It was added that the development work never stopped in the estate while the claimant refused to pay during negotiation. They therefore also seek an order of the court directing the claimant to pay to them the total sum of N12 million, being special and damages for the breach of contract.

Lalasticlala pls help us push this to the FP for the benfit of innocent Nigerians.

oduastates:
All states in the SW should go ahead and demolish all illegal structures, shacks ,rubbish and paanty which litters the region.
Remove those illegal structure and encroaching fences and what you will see is space . Living space ,Breathing space , walking space . Space which can be turned into sidewalks , build drainage , lay water pipes , fibre to cabinet or fibre to home lines,bicycle lanes.
All those wooden benches ,stalls and containers .
Those tomatoes seller should be given collapsible plastic stalls which must be removed at the end of the day.
High street which can be shut down for conversion into temporarily markets ,4 days a week ,must be identified and made available to those who are willing to pay taxes into the tills of the local government.
I was on holidays 3 months ago , the feeling I have whenever I come back into the mess remains the same as it was 6 years .
Nigeria is one big eyesore.
No greens, no open spaces , no planning ,no air to breathe . Just people living on top of each other .
Do not get me started on Those okada, tricycles churches ,mosques,generator noises, twisted wires on electricity and telecommunications pole, open drainage or lack of and beeping of horn .
The LASG should dust up her law books and start enforcing them .
The laws are mostly derived from the British common law. They should be enforced.
Spare part sellers , tomato seller, suya seller , yam seller,lacasera and everybody in between must be made to learn how to live and work decently.
Baba kekeere (jakande) was well known for his bull dozers.
The ogun state government should take control of the mowe , Ibafo area as well . Many areas in that axis have become a giant slum
Ambode should get rid of that Fashola's mega city project.
Where does he want to put 50 million people ? Ogun state has plenty of land to contain everybody and you can see this from the air when you are approaching murtala airport. Just organise/control the release and conversion of farm land into urban dwellings.
Instead of mega city, plan for a series of small manageable cities and towns linked by branching/lateral rail lines , and a central line linking Lagos , Ibadan and ogun . If you do not live in gbagada phase 2 , Victoria Island,Ikoyi , lekki,shangisha, magodo and places like that, it is very difficult find a decent environment to raise a child in a Lagos .
In fact , I would recommend that all states do the same.
Lastly tax (congestion charge) private users of cars like Singapore ( which conducts an annually renewable lottery for vehicle licenses and those who win must pay through their noses)and emphasise cycling .
Most journeys people make are less than 15 minutes by bicycle.
Too many damn cars and the resulting hold up/pollution

Well-said! Lagos is one giant piece of slum.

Good news from my governor. A temporary solution for the afternoon traffic would be to build a parallel road off the express from Ilaje bus stop so that people going to Abraham Adesanya don't have to go up to Ajah roundabout. That'll free up the roundabout for people turning left into Ado Road.

Leather is better as long as it's not black because of heat. Fabric is cool but difficult to clean after liquid spills. May only be suitable for a bachelor.

Biuriful news!

Some level of sanity at last.

Nice pics.

Happy independence (from PDP)!

I agree with this man 100%.

Jonathan is a piece of SAD NEWS.

stevecantrell:
We need several flyovers along that Lekki expressway , at the very least.
imagine refineries, depots, and tankers along that area. Then add a Seaport and the resulting traffic from all of these. The chaos arising from such is best imagined.

What Lagos needs now is rail rail RAIL !!!

Oh yea, flyovers, alternative roads and (cargo & human) rail service are imperative. Otherwise, that axis will grind to a halt.

uchman:
Can you imagine that I withdrew just 1700aed and it charged me 400-500aed at Emirate NBD bank?

So so outrageous and extorting...

Your 9ja banks don't charge you extra when you use PoS abroad.

There's something you can do and which I've done many times. When you buy stuffs in some shops and pay with PoS, they'll ask if you want cash and let you pay the equivalent into their PoS account.

It's a symbiotic relationship as it saves them stress of of taking cash to the bank.

But ask first so they don't report you to police o. Those Arabs no dey smile at all, you can try with Indians first. It's common in the US sha.

Badluck Jonathan is out of the way and everything seems to be working fine now.

Olisa Metuh(selah) never misses any chance to diss the presidential campaign committee. The money they denied him really pained him.

The noisemakers have started again.

Well-said!

The clueless man and his party have been in power for 16yrs but he still has to go for his medical checkup in Germany.

That says it all.

Things he refused to implement in 8 yrs after which he imposed sick Yar'adua and the m0ron from Otuoke on us.

Hi Siena

How do you usually get good buyers for your cars? Do you put them on eBay or it's just by word of mouth?

barcanista:
So OP You are out to tarnish the image of the people even without any fact on ground? Well I know that your prime target is Jonathan but truth is Buhari must audit the NNPC account of 1977-1979, that of 1999-2015, he must revisit the IBB $12b oil windfall scam, he must probe the FRCN allegation against Mallam Sanusi and he must probe the over N2trn spent on power by Obj. Failure to do these will be met with heavy resistance.

What a joker! Their details are freely available on the NNPC website.

More of the fat cats...

Note how the picture/names of the Executive Director, Finance and Accounts is missing.

The $20b is still "allegedly" missing since it hasn't been proven. However, these are the people managing those organizations. If you know any of them. Please help us ask them what's happening.

All data gotten from http://www.nnpcgroup.com/ & http://npdc.nnpcgroup.com/

What a useless party! Same Buhari that your party colluded against by asking your supporters to vote Jonathan?

Better take your case to the election tribunal.

I agree with Sultaan. If the so-called programmer doesn't know the OBD port and can't find it online, then he's incompetent. And that's assuming the owner is truly legit.

Gbawe:
You losers think every Nigerian politician is Jagaban the master of opposition politics and the author of the book "last man standing"? Just remember Gbawe told you bunch of losers this: 90% of current PDP political leaders, given their innate character and especially with APC leading Nigeria well, will be unable to play opposition politics for more than 2 years. You losers talking here better go and join the PDP to sustain and grow it instead of coming here to talk impotently because the current group of PDP political leaders will leave one by one to condemn the PDP to sure, slow and painful death. Better be up and doing, if you want the PDP to survive, instead of posting nonsense here because the PDP leaders on the ground will be too bust fighting for their own survival to give a toss about the PDP.

2 years is too long. Most of them will not last up to a year, including Mr. Monumental Failure (GEJ). They have no abiding ideology apart from stealing and grabbing power, and would all go into oblivion once there is no more power to wield.

To Gbawe & all fellow progressives. Congrats on the generally beautiful Governorship & State HoA election results.

My joy knows no bounds at the moment. May the new dispensation be enjoyable to all of us.

Now that's good. We need them to do the job of the opposition.

Not surprising. The dumbest president ever liveth.

None of these defections is any cause for alarm. APC needs the numbers and acceptability in order to enable it implement its policies effectively. The important thing is that the defectees would not be put in sensitive positions within the party because some of them could as well be moles from the PDP.

For those people who don't want any defections from the PDP so you could have a "strong opposition," I suggest you go and join the David Mark in PDP and be that strong opposition. Put your money where your mouth is.

This must be a joke. These scums complaining about someone's utterances? Imagine what we've had to endure from the mouth of that fat pig and Edwin Clark since 2010.

Y'all should get used to the term "President Buhari." That is the reality of today. You were so dumb and too tribalistic to think that the minority would win an election over a majority.

AMBODE is my choice.

It would be fantastic to see Lagos and the FG working together for the first time in history. That would be very beautiful.

Breaking news! DIEZANI FLEES Nigeria.

Reporter - Madam, thanks for the opportunity to call your roaming number. Madam,why flee Nigeria at this point in time?

D - A man that could give Nwobodo 300 years jail term for stealing a common Peugeot will definitely extend mine to over 5,000 years for the few billion dollars in my possession.

Reporter - But Madam, we are in a democratic dispensation now.

D- Demo what, with Sai Buhari? Just the thought of him in my dream gives me depression. The man's face is so hard that no female wiles could affect him.I have been unable to sleep since March 29th, 2015 because he appears to be warning me daily in my dreams.

Reporter- What about your fellow Ministers.

D- Most Ministers have packed up and do not want to be caught dead in the country by the 30th of April. Jona will run this nation alone from the first of May.Who wan go jail for another 500 years.On May 29th, I shall be moving to the land of the ESKIMOS, who wants to be crated back to Nigeria.

Reporter- That will not be fair now.

D- My dear do not deceive yourself, there is fire on the mountain now with Buhari. Even the militants no longer want to return to the creeks. I heard some of the businessmen with Private jets are planning to return them.

Reporter- We shall miss you for all your good works.

D- Good works ke. My dear, let me return to my hideout because I just heard a sound like Bu...

LWKMD

Nigerians do have a good sense of humor.

Congrats, Gbawe and every one of the progressives on here. I feel so accomplished.

God bless.

Let's keep this thread active for the purpose of progressive brainstorming.
