It's so unfortunate no one can be trusted now. I was scammed by a Pastor of my first two plots of land.

The police will only favour the biggest client with money to spend.

You can report him to NBA or look for a SAN to speak to him on your behalf

We have been avoiding taking the case to court because we fear it would last longer in court.


I am afraid you will have to take it to court. The sooner the better.

Re: My Family Has Been Scammed by Temptee101(m): 1:27pm On Dec 04, 2019
So sorry, what a sad story. Never trust an uncle, I am a living witness

Taking him to court would be fruitless as it will linger forever while you keep spending money

Report him to a deity and your money will be recovered in less than 6 months

I'm sorry you are going through this mess.

First of all, your best option would be to visit the ordinary president in person of Ahmed Isah.

But lemme give you a tip before going forward with this case on Berekete Family.
From now onwards, any call you put through to your uncle should be recorded.
But you shouldn't make it obvious so that you can nail him fast.

I wish you luck.

BTW, let us know when you are going live with it, so I hat we can follow up

Kindly approve to front page, please

Pls forgive my typographical errors.

Have been following nairaland since 2012 but fully registered 2015, I know some of you would have gone through what am going through now and each of your advises would be duly observed.

We are 3 in our family me my dad, and my elder brother who is also a graduate.

it all started wen I lost my mom to cancer 2016. she was a school teacher in one of the government school in abuja.

After her death we started following up her gratuity from Gov, God willing and thank God we were paid.

We decided to invest the money in schooling, which we decided to build a primary school in PH

I'm from Owerri but I have uncles from rivers state so we had the feelings that river state is a better option for the investement.

At least we have relatives there to show a good place to set up the school.

We went to our uncle's house who happens to be a Lawyer and narrated everything to him concerning a good land to Start up a school.

He told us he had a land for sell, we were happy because we felt he can't scam us.

We went through normal procedures concerning the land he wanted selling to Us.

Sorry not to have mentioned, my uncle came from a very respected and rich family so we handled everything with full assurance.

He then told us that 2 barristers (based in PH) are also involved in the land deal. That they own the land.

Since they were barristers, we consented.

So we paid 5million for two plots.

Though, the area wasn't that developed but they where few houses there, so starting up school there might be profitable

We started building fence and other important things that is ought to be done, in fact, all what we spent would sum up to 1.2million.

In the course of building, someone we don't know came and chase us out of the land, Saying the land belongs to him.

During this period, my dad tried to reach out to my uncle and the other 2 barristers to come and explain things to him but they were no where to be found.

He spent 2 weeks in PH without any sign from them nor results.

This is a year and three months we paid for that land and we haven't step into that land and no straight answers had been given to us.

We trusted him.

What annoys me the most is that he now pick our calls only when he feels like and no straight answer would still be given..

We have been avoiding taking the case to court because we fear it would last longer in court.

He told us to take him anywhere we like, that he will defend himself.

We don't need the land again, we want our money back cause what we have experienced so far is not what we bargained for.

I'm thinking of going to Brekete family (Human Right Radio) in Abuja to seek for solution

Note: My uncle is now based in Abuja but those two lawyers are based in PH.

Please my fellow nairalanders your advise are needed and any comment given would be very much appreciated, cause this totally look like we have been scammed.

Pls front page

I am surprised your dad at his age didn't know that entrusting any uncle with money is automatic voicemail ... This uncle is he your maternal uncle?

Sorry bro. Some people are heartless.
As long as you have proof of payment made to the uncle you should seek redress in the court of law. I believe for the fact that he is a lawyer and an uncle the judge would be more strict on him and his co-conspirators.
You have to be resilient though, it is gonna be a tough fight. It would have been easier if the other party were the ones who wanted to develop the land. You could have simply gone to demolish anything they erect.
Re: My Family Has Been Scammed by elchariotlp: 1:32pm On Dec 04, 2019
Like someone earlier advised, go to any court close to you, ask of the Nigeria Bar Association branch closest to you and report the lawyers involved to the NBA.

Or if you can get a Lawyer to Petition the three lawyers to the Disciplinary Committee of the NBA.
Re: My Family Has Been Scammed by mourinhob: 1:32pm On Dec 04, 2019
shebi you are igbo. oga go to a shrine and report him. when it comes to land matters in igboland. the spirits are your best bet. He may beat you in court with technicalities since he is a lawyer.
a simple kolanut and a crate of beer will suffice. na him go take him hand bring the money to the shrine. tho some shrine do take some small cut.

p.s I am not a hypocrite. most of you Christians that will attack me soon, we do normally see una for shrine nicoddemuscally

Let your dad ask him again nicely.

If after, he is proving stubborn and unreasonable. Write a petition against him to the NBA Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Commitee. Subsequently, write a petition against him to the Zonal Police HQ.

Re: My Family Has Been Scammed by foleskay(m): 1:34pm On Dec 04, 2019
Weren't you given the Certificate of occupancy when you bought the land?? A land bought at that price should have been properly documented because of situations like this. If you have d genuine documents of the land, take them to any nearest police station and lodge a complaint. The rogues uncles must be brought to book.
Re: My Family Has Been Scammed by bnovative(m): 1:34pm On Dec 04, 2019
Do you have evidence of payment made to him?
Also record your phone conversation and have them handy. Ensure the conversation is such that could show he's collected the said amount from you.
Approach the efcc to complain about the fraud/scam.
Be prepared for a long legal tussle.
Good luck.
Next time ensure due diligence.
