Know the traps
How people lose their money on Lagos land.
There’s no shame in not knowing these - that’s exactly what fraudsters count on. Here are the real patterns, and how a proper check catches each one.
The same plot, sold to many buyers
Omonile sell one piece of land to several people. Only the first to register wins.
How we catch it →A Certificate of Occupancy that was never real
A colour printout with a copied stamp and serial number, made to look exactly genuine.
How we catch it →Government land, sold as private
Land sitting inside an acquisition zone. The state can take it back and owe you nothing.
How we catch it →An excision that never happened
Lagos stopped issuing new excisions years ago - but the story is still sold today.
How we catch it →A family that never agreed
One relative sells what the whole family owns - the others come back to claim it.
How we catch it →A hidden loan or court case
The land is tied up in court or used as security for a loan you cannot see.
How we catch it →Stop guessing. Know before you pay.
