Odewale Got Scammed Buying Land in Lagos: Lessons to Learn

How Odewale Got Scammed Buying Land in Lagos in early 2024.


After years of saving patiently, he was finally ready to own a piece of Lagos — the city of dreams and endless possibilities.

A friend introduced him to a “trusted agent,” who showed him a beautiful plot of land near Lekki.
The price was irresistible.
“Buy quickly, before someone else grabs it,” the agent urged.

Afraid to miss out, Odewale rushed. Within a week, he made full payment.
The agent handed him only a photocopy of a survey plan and a handwritten receipt.
No verification.
No investigation.
No background checks.
He believed he had made the smartest move of his life.

Three months later, as he was about to fence the land, reality hit hard.
Another man appeared — holding a genuine Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) — and legally reclaimed the land.

Odewale’s heart sank.
The “agent” had sold him land already under government acquisition — marked for a major road project by Lagos State.
His money? Gone.
The agent? Vanished.
His dream? Crushed.
