Am I Being Scammed by LongLiveTheKing: 2:12pm On Feb 13, 2023
I would love to make it short...
A neighbour drew my attention to a cummunity land which was put up for sale. Knowing how important landed property is, i quickly made payment for 4plots of land in the presence of the cummunty heads...

I paid whatsoever i was asked to pay, signed the necessary document (power of attorney), the community heads also penned they signatures as well.
Time came for me to develop the land after 3months or so, i was told to pay development fee to the youth's as tradition demand...i did just that.

Time for me to fence my land i was told there was a problem, infact that the money i transferred to the youth leaders account caused a huge issue due to how it was embezzled leading to the death of one cummunty youth...
I tried contacting those that sold the land for me but they where not reachable... i took a trip to whr i bought the land to see things for myself and i discovered that the people i bought the land from (the community representatives) where on the run from thier community. Another set of representatives whr formed and i was told that the ones i bought the land from couldn't give account of all the cummunty land sold, so in that case they consider no land to be sold... meaning they can resale my 4plots of land to new bidders..

MY PEOPLE AM IN SEVERE PAINS RIGHT NOW... your advise is welcomed please.

Mods help me move it to front page so as to get more contributions before the next meeting by the village representatives... thanks

That is why I tell investors to be very extra careful in land issues infact I won't advise you buy a land without immediately putting something on it. Don't get missled by hungry motivational speakers on TikTok decieve u into buying hectares thinking everyone will be pass the land daily without trying to take it. Even a king's land get stolen, whoever is ready to develop a property owns it, it's a natural resources even though it is in your name.

If you’re in Delta, there’s a government agency that will help you if all your documents are valid.

It's ok if they provide you with another land or ask you to add little more to what you already paid. If not,no lawyer or police involvement
