"This is how a tenant sold his landlord's four-bedroom duplex at Okota and ran away after collecting the money. He has been living in that property for like seven years. He knew everybody in that place. He knew all the tactics. He knew all the issues in that place. He decided to forge a deed of assignment in his name, forged a survey plan in his name, and forged a receipt from the Okota family in his name. He gave an agent to market the property. The agent after marking it for a while now found somebody that was interested in purchasing the property. He now showed him all the documents. Instead of that buyer to actually go and the community development association to confirm whether it was him taht owns it, he did not. Instead of him to go and look for the Omoniles at Okota to confirm whether he was the one that owns it, he did not. He just saw the documents because he portrayed himself as a big boy that was moving to his other house and he wanted to sell it. That's why he bought that property from him. After paying him N83 million, he even had the audacity to tell the man to give him four extra months before he could move out of the place because he was looking for a place to move, and he will look for a new house to move in.."
