… Arrest Staff Members
The Nigerian Police have uncovered what appears to be a large-scale housing scam allegedly orchestrated by Luxury Prime Real Estate Nigeria Limited, a company headquartered at No. 2 Potiskum Street, Area 1, Garki, Abuja. The firm, owned by one Eze Samuel, is currently under investigation for alleged fraud, conspiracy, breach of trust, and obtaining money under false pretenses.
Trouble began when officers from the Force Headquarters stormed the company’s office recently to question its management following a petition by multiple victims. However, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Eze Samuel, was said to be nowhere in sight during the police operation. Two staff members — Kennedy Ogoina and Elizabeth Onah — were arrested and detained for an entire weekend over their alleged role in the fraudulent scheme.
According to the petition, Luxury Prime Real Estate lured unsuspecting Nigerians into paying for non-existent housing projects using forged Certificates of Occupancy and other fake land documents. Investigators identified several top company officials now wanted for questioning, including Emmanuel (Chief Operating Officer), Ikechukwu “Hyke” Otutubuike (Executive Director), Kennedy Ogoina (Sales Manager), Elizabeth Onah, and Winner Ignatius (Sales Executives).
One of the most notorious schemes linked to the firm involved a purported housing project named “Lux de Ville Estate”, which the company advertised as being located at Plot 1078, Kaura District, Abuja. Prospective buyers were promised a 3-bedroom terrace duplex with a boys’ quarters on a 2,600 sqm parcel of land, with assurances that construction would begin in March 2025 and be completed by December 2025.
Several buyers, swayed by glossy marketing brochures and persuasive sales pitches by Elizabeth Onah and Winner Ignatius, reportedly made 50% down payments of a non-existing housing scheme. To their shock, six months later, not a single block had been laid at the advertised site. Matters worsened when police discovered that Luxury Prime does not own the land and had no approval to build on it.
In another disturbing twist, some staff of the company were reportedly apprehended by soldiers around Asokoro Abuja while scouting a parcel of land allegedly owned by the Nigerian Army, raising suspicions of further fraudulent land dealings.
Police sources confirm that under pressure and fear of litigation, Luxury Prime Real Estate has been robbing Peter to pay Paul by scouting money from other innocent members of public to refund victims. Discreet checks reveal that Luxury Prime CEO, Eze Samuel who shuttles between Nigeria and Kigali, Rwanda has stepped up his pranky game by moving into a more cozy office located at Churchgate, Abuja in a bid to further hoodwink innocent Nigerians. A growing number of clients have lodged fresh complaints, citing deliberate deception, impersonation, and fraudulent collection of funds.
“This is a clear case of criminal conspiracy and organized fraud,” a source familiar with the investigation said. “If left unchecked, many more Nigerians could fall prey to this syndicate.”
The police investigation into Luxury Prime Real Estate is ongoing, with authorities urging members of the public to exercise caution when investing in real estate ventures and to verify all land titles and development projects through appropriate government agencies.
