HOW DUE DILIGENCE SAVED LAND/HOUSE BUYER FROM 400 MILLION NAIRA SCAM

HOW DUE DILIGENCE SAVED LAND/HOUSE BUYER FROM 400 MILLION NAIRA SCAM

Imagine being just one signature away from losing 400 million Naira to a cleverly packaged fraud.

That was exactly the case for a client who recently contacted Apex Chambers before paying for a luxurious building in Port Harcourt.

The property looked perfect: strategically located, tastefully finished and backed with what appeared to be a genuine Certificate of Occupancy (C of O).

Every detail seemed authentic. But our client did the smartest thing any serious land/building buyer should do. He engaged Apex Chambers to conduct full due diligence (investigation) before he pays.

Our findings showed that the so-called C of O was forged, skillfully designed to look original.

Upon tracing the property records, we discovered that the true owner was actually his cousin living abroad, who had absolutely no knowledge of the attempted sale.

The imposter was trying to cash out on family trust and a foreign-based relative’s absence.

Had the client rushed to pay, it would have been a 400 million Naira disaster. With professional due diligence and document verification, we exposed the fraud before any money was paid.

This is why no one should buy land or house in Nigeria without involving an experienced Property and Real Estate Lawyer to carry out thorough checks and confirm genuine ownership.

Before you pay for that property, be sure.
