Really! This is really incredible to believe. Now have the ICPC, EFCC, NPF, DSS investigate this allegations? The one in Lagos - corrupt policeman made king. Emir of Iwo - a fraudster kingpin repatriated from the US but enthroned as a king again. And now this. Where is the moral compass my people.

MasterJayJay:
Oluwo of Iwo was deported from USA for fraud, another monarch Ooni of Ife is defrauding Nigerians.

What is the criteria for making these people kings?

Reno Omokri, better save this for future reference.

How Ooni Ogunwusi’s Companies Executed the Biggest Fraud in Nigeria’s Real Estate History — and Got Away With it

After his companies allocated apartments and land that existed only on paper to hundreds of investors, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi became the Ooni of Ife, making him highly connected culturally and politically and somewhat above the law. As if emboldened by the proverbial saying that ‘a king has dominion over all things’, hundreds of investors were never refunded. Gran Imperio Group’s multi-million-naira Essential Homes scheme is described by many as the biggest fraud seen yet in Nigeria’s real estate history.

In October 2014, Mrs Offiong (not real name) received some documents from Metropole Interproject Limited introducing the sale of a “one unit of three-bedroom corner piece bungalow apartment at South Pointe II Estate” at Ajah, Lagos, for N17,967,000 million. She was instructed to pay 50 percent of the cost if she accepted the offer.

Retiring at the top cadre in the civil service after 30 years, she did not hesitate to invest her gratuity because the supposed estate was in a prime location: the building’s specifications and the estate’s facilities as stated in the contract looked top notch; the delivery date was less than a year away in August 2015.

Shortly after paying the initial deposit of N8,983,500 million to Metropole Interproject Limited and a receipt bearing the name of its parent company, Gran Imperio Group, was issued to Mrs Offiong. On a scheduled visit to the site, Gran Imperio Group took subscribers to South Pointe One, instead of South Pointe II.

“They told us that South Point II was not ready yet, so they took us to South Pointe One to show us what two would look like when it was ready,” said Mrs Offiong’s son, James (not real name), who went with his mother to the site. “There was a bit of confusion that day. We suspected that something was not right but we calmed down when they told us about another estate that would be completed before South Pointe II.”

In a letter to subscribers in February 2015, Adiukwu Kechi, an official of the company, notified subscribers of the need to pay their next instalment. To get them to commit to completing their payments, although no land was shown to subscribers during the site visit, Kechi added: “We have been magnanimous to move you to a site that is beside South Pointe II and will be completed earlier than South Pointe II too, which is Golden Leaf Estate, and a final allocation will be issued too.”

This is a significant allegation against Ooni Ogunwusi. I pray the claims are untrue, but if they are indeed true, it would be a major problem. Such allegations can undermine trust in the real estate sector and have wide-ranging implications for all stakeholders involved. It's crucial for thorough investigations to be conducted to ascertain the facts and ensure justice is served.

From the story, one of the people that were interviewed by FIJ said she took them to court and she awarded to be compensated for damages which the company never paid. So terrible if this is true

Ooni

Oluwo

Lagos king

Timubu

Soyinka

Etc etc

All fraudsters

These people are inherently fraudulent. Look at their leaders.

Stale news. Even before his coronation he's been having legal battles.
And he targets rich older women a lot. That's why he married 7 older rich women after Naomi.

The article looks questionable. Whether king or no king, if you steal from me, I will use everything in me to fight you, including the court, my king, the police, EFCC, social media and court of public opinions.

I listened to an audio message yesterday on a You tube programme where a woman was lamenting to the other about the scam Ooni of
Ife Ogunwusi pulled on her 200000 us dollar worth of landed property in Ife but nothing received. The woman resides in the US , she even advised the other not to fall for his love scam. What's wrong with our values as humans, a reputable king for that matter.
