A US based man Kennedy Chukwuemeka Nwabuoku has reportedly been duped by some land agents in Lagos, who led him to the lagoon after he parted with N787.5million for 150 plots of land. It was gathered that Nwabuoku transferred the monies in the following order over a period: N229,000,000, N86,000,000, N120,000,000, N41,300,000, N11,291,000, and N90,000,000. The agents identified as Emeka Okoronkwo and Michael Owolabi Alonge, had offered the land for sale at N5,250,000 per plot with Certificate of Occupancy (C of O). Nwabuoku told the told detectives led by DCP Abutu Yaro, at the Force Criminal Investigations and Intelligence Department (FCIID), Alagbon, that he bought the unseen land with a foreign partner and had paid in fiduciary trust, sending monies on different occasions through his company, KenBouk Global Investment Ltd. The agents were sending him pictures and videos of caterpillars in action at the purported site at Ifedele Agunbiade Village, Sangotedo, in Eti-Osa area of Lagos. Trouble started after Nwabuoku’s family in Nigeria who wanted to see the site were told that the land was in an area bought by prominent Nigerians like former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Oba Riliwanu Akiolu, and it was cordoned off so that ordinary citizens could not gain access. When he became suspicious, Nwabuoku sent the C of O to a friend to verify, and the friend found that no such land or location described in the document existed. He decided to visit Nigeria and inspect the land for which he had paid the property agent, Okoronkwo, who was identified as owner of Kings Court Realtors at Plot 321A, Akin Ogunlewe Street, Victoria Island. When Nwabuoku arrived and insisted he must see the site before further payments, Alonge allegedly took him to a location far inside a wooded area that led to the lagoon with canoes going back and forth. He stated that Mr Michael Owolabi Alonge started pointing around and towards the lagoon as if he was not sure where the land is anymore. Investigations into the matter revealed that fictitious persons were listed in the Deed of Assignment that the suspected fraudsters also gave to Nwabuoku. During interrogation by the police on November 8, 2017, Okoronkwo allegedly admitted that he collected N603,000,000 for 100 plots, agency fees and legal fees through transfers to Kings Court Realtors’ accounts in tw banks. When Nwabuoku, who had been given no receipt, asked for a refund, he said that the suspects had threatened to kill him if he fails to keep quiet on the transaction. Detectives have completed their investigation and the matter has been charged to court with Sgt Morufu Animashaun as police lawyer. There was an arrest warrant for Okoronkwo who allegedly received the payments, and he will appear in court on December 5. The case is pending before Chief Magistrate (Mrs) Abimbola Komolafe of Magistrate Court 3, Igbosere, in Lagos. Source: The Herald
