How to Avoid Land Scams in Nigeria
Buying land in Nigeria is one of the smartest investments you can make, but it’s also one of the riskiest if you don’t take precautions. Sadly, many people have lost their hard-earned money to fake sellers, forged papers, and lands under government acquisition.
Here are 5 simple steps to protect yourself before paying for any land:
Verify Documents – Always ask for proper title documents like C of O, Governor’s Consent, or Survey Plan. Don’t just see them—confirm their authenticity at the land registry.
Do a Proper Search – A land search will reveal if the land is under government acquisition or tied to disputes. Never skip this step.
Inspect the Land – Visit the site yourself. Ensure it matches the documents, and speak with locals to confirm there are no disputes.
Be Wary of Cheap Deals – If the price sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Compare prices in the area before making payment.
Work with Professionals – Always involve lawyers, surveyors, or a trusted real estate firm. They know what to check and how to protect you.
Final Word: Don’t let fraudsters rob you of your dream property. Take your time, verify, and involve professionals.
