Housing Fraud Stories are Traceable to Roadside Agents
Whether you’re seeking to become independent and want to rent an apartment of your own; or, you want to relocate from one apartment to another; what comes to your mind first? Roadside agents?
Well, not all roadside agents are unreliable. However, the many stories of housing frauds in Lagos can only be traced to such agents.
Sometimes in October 2015, a news headline stated that over 200 persons from different parts of Lagos assembled at the Lagos State House of Assembly to protest over being defrauded of a huge sum of money for 15 apartments by two men. This is just one out of many cases of housing fraud in Lagos and beyond.
