It was a surprising case of drama as a yet-to-be identified tenant sold a 4-bedroom duplex owned by his landlord for ₦83 million, and disappeared with money.
The incident was shared by a Nigerian lawyer identifed as @theomonilelawyer on TikTok.
According to the lawyer, the tenant had been living in the property for seven years.
Speaking further, he stated that the tenant forged documents, which included deed of assignment, survey plan, and receipt from the Okota family, to convince a buyer to purchase the property.
After payment, the tenant requested a four-month extension to vacate the property, claiming he needed time to find a new settlement.
The fraud was exposed after the agent discovered a tenant claimed ownership, contradicting its rental status.
Meanwhile, the property owner has returned to Nigeria, and the case is currently under police investigation.
Emphasizing the importance of inquiry, the lawyer cautioned, “Verify property before buying. Don’t be a victim of land scammers or house purchase scammers”.
