A prosecution witness on Thursday told the Federal High Court in Abuja how a realtor and her co-defendants allegedly sold portions of three disputed plots of land in a choice part of Abuja to members of the public without any document confirming their ownership of the land.
Ahmed Gbigbadua, a witness from the Extractive Industries Fraud Section of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), told Judge Joyce Abdulmalik that the defendants issued offer letters, payment receipts and other documents to buyers, none of which could be compared with the genuine title documents issued by the FCT Department of Land Administration.
Mr Gbigbadua gave the evidence during the continuation of the trial of Abuja-based realtor Rebecca Godwin-Isaac, her husband, Isaac Ishaku, Richard John, and two companies, Homadil Realty Limited and Rychado Homes Limited.
The defendants are facing charges over alleged land fraud, forgery and money laundering involving Plot 4022 in Guzape District and Plots 1861, 1862 and 1863 in Katampe District, Abuja.
The EFCC alleges that the defendants collected more than N500 million from multiple victims between 2023 and 2024 and laundered the proceeds through company accounts.
