Operatives of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested a fake land
vendor, Nwobo Williams Chibuike in Abuja.
He was
arrested for allegedly defrauding members of the public through offers of
fake plots of land in Kurudu, Sabon Lugbe East Extension, Kpeyegyi and
Jikoyi Village Extension, all in the Federal Capital Territory,
FCT.
Investigations
showed that, Chibuike, self-styled Managing Director of C&C Reality
& Construction Limited, Dream-Krest Homes and Properties Limited and
Dan Faith Shelters Limited, was marketing fictitious and non-existing landed
properties in several locations in the FCT and getting his victims to make
payments ranging from N60,000,000( Sixty Million Naira), N24,000,
000( Twenty- Four Million Naira), N11,000,000( Eleven Million Naira) to N3,
500, 000( Three Million Five Hundred Naira) in locations such as Karsana,
Pyakasa, Jikwoyi , Kurudu, Katampe Extension, Guzape 2, Kuje and other
locations in the FCT.
The
Commission’s enquiries from the Federal Capital Development Authority,
FCDA, showed that none of the locations being marketed and sold by
Chibuike and his agents are real.
The
suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
The
public is hereby alerted to be wary of such vendors, especially itinerant land
marketers around the FCT and be appropriately guided.
