- Scams three (3) Individuals over NGN625,000,000 on Fraudulent Hotel Business.


- Forged Lagos State Certificate of Occupancy

- Battling with Over 3 Litigations & Court Cases.

Chief Collins Ogbuji is a consummate and forward-looking businessman in legitimate chains of businesses spanning several sectors. Like every businessman, he believes he should keep expanding the frontiers of his business for higher prospects. Little did he know that not all men are worthy to be enlisted as Business Partners.

Luck or better still ill -luck made him to meet one Fraudulent Joseph Umezugha, who asked him to invest in his hotel as he needed funds to complete same. As stated by FC Joseph Umezugha himself and as contained in the Patnership Agreement that was mutually signed by the duo, the cost of the land and what he had spent so far on the construction of the hotel was a total sum of N110 million.

He therefore asked the unsuspecting Collins Ogbuji to invest equal amount of N110 million to complete the construction and furnishing of the hotel in order to make him a partner in the hotel business with equal equity.

Contrary to the spurious allegations by Joseph Umezugha that Collins Ogbuji approached him to be an investor in his hotel, Collins Ogbuji never met nor knew who Joseph Umezugha AGBALA was until Collins's kinsman, Onyebuchi Igwe who is based in Port Harcourt, introduced Joseph Umezugha to him as his friend who was looking for a person to invest in his hotel at No. 1, Liberty Estate Road, Okokomaiko, Ojo, Lagos in order to complete same.

However and as typical of Joseph Umezugha, he continued to demand for more money, contrary to the N110 million mutual agreement between them until Collins Ogbuji paid the total sum of N185 million.

Still, he was demanding for more despite the fact that Collins Ogbuji insisted on Joseph Umezugha giving proper accounts of the money already collected and showing the items procured before he could pay any other money.

Joseph Umezugha AGBALA bluntly refused to give any accounts and promised to deal with Collins Ogbuji for having the audacity to challenge his authority over his own property. Attached are certified documents as necessary legal proceedings on this case from the Partnership Deed of Agreement and Court applications and list of Count Charges against the deceitful Chief AGBALA.

True to Joseph Umezugha's AGBALA threats, the event took an entirely different dimension as he started threatening Collins Ogbuji, warning him not to come near the hotel.

To Collins Ogbuji's amazement, Joseph Umezugha's wife, son and their lawyer (C.O. ABUBU ESQ.) wrote separate letters to him, stating that their husband and father, Joseph Umezugha, fraudulently forged their signatures to make Collins Ogbuji a Director in De-Jessica Hotel in order to fraudulently obtain money from him. The letters by them are attached.

It is, however, instructive to state that, as of now, Collins Ogbuji's company, Colbex Systems Ltd, is the owner of half of the land and half of the entire hotel buildings (De Jessica Hotel), its fixtures and fittings at No. 1, Liberty Estate Road, Okokomaiko, Ojo, Lagos by virtue of the Deed of Assignment dated 7th September, 2021, prepared by Joseph AGBALA Umezugha's lawyer, Ikechukwu Ukadike Esq.) and duly signed by Joseph Umezugha, thanks to Collins Ogbuji's lawyer who insisted on the Deed of Assignment (as stipulated by the Partnership Agreement) before further payments could be made after Collins Ogbuji had paid the mutually agreed N110 million

He has since been charged on the underlisted count charges amidst defrauded three(3) other victims by his unscrupulous acts that led to the sealing of the hotel by Federal High Court:

1. That he collected the sum of Sixty Six Million (NGN 66,000,000 ) sometimes in January 2022 under false presence from the Complainant through his Zenith Bank Account of 1013654421 thereby committing an offense punishable under Advance Fee Fraud & other Offences Act . He fraudulently misrepresentated himself to Chief Collins as a Businessman & the owner of Saint Joe International Agency by which he collected the sum of 66M, an offense punishable under Advance Fee Fraud & other Offences Act No 14 of 2006

2. That he converted the said sum of 66M collected in January 2022 and converted it into Personal Use thereby committing an offense punishable the Money Laundry Act ( Prohibition Act, 2011)

3. “That you Joseph Okwudill Umezugha “Hi sometimes In January. 2022, in Lagos State, within the aforementioned judicial division of the Federal High Court, did knowingly forged a document titled: “Lagos State
Certificate of Occupancy” with Registration No. 62 at Page 62 In Volume 2014J dated 10th day of May, 2014 with intent that it may fit in any Way be used or acted upon as genuine whether in Nigeria or Elsewhere to the prejudice of Uchechukwu Umel Elxor ‘m and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 1(2)(c) of the Miscellaneous offenses Act Cap. M17 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2014″.

Going by these horrible antecedents, it is worthy to state that Chief Joseph Umezugha AGBALA is really a Con Master and serial Fraudster who derives joy in perpetrating evil.

Contrary to the mendacious stories being peddled around by Joseph Okwudili Umezugha AGBARA and his social media conspirators to gain undue public sympathy and perverse the course of justice, he is presently facing three (3) different criminal charges, separately filed by 3 different law enforcement agencies in 3 different Courts, for using one same hotel, De Jessica Hotel, to fraudulently collect about N800 million at different times from 3 different individuals, namely Ifeanyi Collins Ogbuji, Uchechukwu Umeh Elxor and Chris Brown Umeh (Eze Ndigbo Japan)


Curiously and interestingly, Joseph Okwudili Umezugha , notoriously known as AGBARA, told the three of them similar stories to defraud them of their hard earned money at three different times. He asked each of them to invest in his hotel as a partner, and he fraudulently entered into partnership agreements with all of them as partners over and in respect of same hotel

The Hotel was even sealed by the order of the Federal High Court arising from one of the suits filed against him by one of the other three (3) victims.

It was not Mr Collins or EFCC that sealed the hotel as against the lies being peddled to the innocent public by his co- fraudulent media accomplices who are only enjoying his patronage.

Upon meeting Collins Ogbuji, Joseph Umezugha asked him to invest in his hotel as he needed funds to complete same.

As stated by FC Joseph Umezugha himself and as contained in the Patnership Agreement, the cost of the land and what he had spent so far on the construction of the hotel was a total sum of N110 million.

He therefore asked Collins Ogbuji to invest same equal amount of N110 million to complete the construction and furnishing of the hotel in order to make him an equal partner in the hotel business.
However and as typical of Joseph Umezugha, he continued to demand for more money, contrary to the mutual agreement between them of N110 million, until Collins Ogbuji paid the total sum of N185 million. Still, he demented for more, but Collins Ogbuji insisted on Joseph Umezugha giving proper accounts of the money already collected and showing the items procured before he could pay any other money.

Joseph Umezugha bluntly refused to give any accounts and promised to deal with Collins Ogbuji for having the audacity to challenge his authority over his own property.

More details later.....

Give it to Ogun State & the Dapo Abiodun led Administration.

Magnoliaa:
Keep quiet, please.

May God pardon the insensitivity of the social media, I am old enough to be your father.

Indeed, this is the end of an era.

A foremost educationist, businesswoman and a woman leader. She was formerly the Iyalode of Egbaland before she was deposed by the then Ogun State Governor.

She was thereafter selected and appointed as the Iyalode of Yorubaland in compensation of her ordeal in the hands of the Ogun State political ruling class.

Surely, there is an end for everything..
