This is a section that deals with true land and property scam stories perpetrated by Real-life Land Scammers. It gives you the opportunity to read about these dubious property thieves and how far they would go to defraud and scam you if you don't conduct due diligence. Here are some land scam articles you might be interested in and I hope you learn from them and realise there are so many wicked people dreaming day and night on how to swindle you off your life savings once you refuse to examine and investigate them properly. They include Pastors, Grandmothers, 80-year-Old men, Real estate developers, Family members and a host of people you would never expect to deceive you. Read more about them below:

- 2 Real Estate Developers arraigned by EFCC for stealing N120 Million Naira from Land Buyers ( Vanguard)
In truth, there has never been a time when due diligence has been more important than right now. A buyer must carefully consider whether all of the factors when taken together, merge into a decision to go forward. Most of the time, the answer is “yes,” but sometimes, it should be a very resounding “no.”
Please be smart and do everything to conduct Due Diligence on the land or property you intend to buy. You’re signing the largest check you’ve ever signed, and you want to make sure that you’re not missing something. To not engage an expert independent real estate due diligence attorney like Omonile Lawyer could make you’d feel naked in the process and very foolish after property thieves like the ones you have just finished reading their stories end up making you their next victim.
"Remember, getting into a deal with a Land Fraudster is a lot easier than getting out of one. The choice is yours".

We need more info like this to let people know that its not safe to buy properties in Lagos without proper representation. They should jail all these wicked people who defraud people to steal their land or money.

April 27, 2020 at 4:15 pmI was once a victim of these omooniles in Ketu. I bought a land from the family not knowing that they had sold it to someone previously. When i started work, some people came with police to pursue my workers. It was when we all got to the police station that we discovered that these omooniles delibrately sold the land to 2 people so that we would fight ourselves while they enjoy our money. Both of us settled our differences and fought the omoonile together both in court and police station. They ended up giving us 2 lands when the wahala was too much for them. These people are demonic to the root.

April 30, 2020 at 2:37 amOne thing people should be wary about when buying land is paying the seller bit by bit. Its an invitation to commit more fraud. That seller would continue to eat the money and when its time to deliver he would run away and not deliver. All these part payment promos always lead to problems in the end and these sellers turn into 419 thieves at the end of the day.
