Thursday, April 24, 2025 - Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested a fake land vendor, Nwobo Williams Chibuike in Abuja.
EFCC in a statement on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, said Nwobo
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,” the commission added.
