An Anambra-based businessman, Philip Okechukwu, has threatened to drag a real estate company, PWAN Max and PWAN Homes, to court over alleged N10 million fraud.
Okechukwu claimed that he paid the property firm for the purchase of eight plots of lands in Anambra and Lagos states, without having access to the said properties.
According to him, payments were made in March 2022, for lands located in Lekki, Lagos and Umuleri town, Anambra.
He said the payments were acknowledged in a letter by Franklin Nwigwe, the business development manager of the firm.
“The transaction took place over a year ago and the company is yet to show me my properties. We have written them and we have also gone there physically to complain. They kept on making promises.”
“At a point I became worried about their disposition to my matter and we are suspecting that we have been ripped off,” he said.
Okechukwu, however, stated that he had contacted his lawyers, noting that if the firm fails to do the needful soonest, they would hear from him through the court.
When contacted, the company’s development manager, Nwigwe confirmed the business transaction with Okechukwu.
While admitting that briefs had been received from Okechukwu lawyers, he added that the firm’s legal department had been notified about the development.
Nwigwe assured that by the end of the rainy season all of PWAN clients would be made to have access to their properties.
“Okechukwu is not our only client. Others will also have access to their lands when it stops raining,” he said.
