Over 150 Ikorodu residents seeking accommodation at Surulere and
Coker areas of Lagos State have been allegedly defrauded by a
property developer identified as Kabiru Adeyemi , The Nation
reports
The residents, claimed that the total amount paid the said
Adeyemi amounted to about N50million, also said they resorted to
leaving Ikorodu following the spate of kidnappings and killings
by the now infamous Badoo cult group.
Further investigations revealed that the victims, comprising
about 100 families, had paid the developer for alternative
accommodations at Iponri, Aguda, Coker and Orile.
Most of the victims including widows, it was gathered, were
squatting with relatives in Lagos after abandoning their homes
at Ikorodu.
Adeyemi alledgedly charged some of the victims N240,000 per year
for a room and parlour apartment, but when they went to take
possession of their respective apartments, they discovered
people were already in them.
Exasperated by the development, some of the victims were said to
have filed a complaint at the Force Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department (FCIID), Alagbon, which led to Adeyemi’s
arrest.
The victim’s were said to have protested to the International
Centre for Human Rights, Non Violence and Safety (ICHR) office,
Alaka Estate, Iponri, lamenting that they were stranded.
A victim, Linus Ejiofor said he fled Ikorodu in May and has been
squatting with a relative.
He said he paid N200,000 for a self-contained and promised to
balance N150,000 when he got the key, but another person had
occupied.
Ejiofor also lamented that he introduced a lot of people from
Ikorodu to the developer, not knowing it was a scam.
Narrating her ordeal, one Mrs. Johnson said:
“I fled my house in Ikorodu following incessant attacks from
Badoo. I contacted an agent to help me get a place and he took
me to a house undergoing renovation at Mashalasi Street, Iponri.
I saw a woman, Mrs Fumilayo and a man called JJ.
“Mrs. Fumilayo told me that she and her husband were the
developers renovating the house. My agent and I inquired about a
mini flat and she said it was N250 for one year. She told me to
make payment into her bank account which I did. I brought the
teller to her and was issued a receipt.
