Diaspora Buyers Are the Most Targeted — Here's Why
You're in Manchester or Houston. The land is in Lagos or Abuja. You can't visit. You have to trust someone you can't see. Fraudsters know this. Over ₦50 billion is lost to property fraud in Nigeria every year — and diaspora buyers are disproportionately targeted. Here's what they do:
- Fake Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) - most common fraud in Lagos
- Forged Survey Plans with manipulated coordinates
- Double allocation - same land sold to multiple buyers
- Government acquisition land sold to unsuspecting buyers
- Omo Onile and land grabbers in Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo
- Fraudulent Deed of Assignment with forged signatures
