Petition Alleges Plot to Seize Abuja Home as EFCC Case Names Buyer as Alleged Victim

Petition Alleges Plot to Seize Abuja Home as EFCC Case Names Buyer as Alleged Victim — 1 of 4
1 / 4

A cross-petition to the EFCC alleges that Rebecca Godwin-Isaac was defrauded in the purchase of Plot 4022 in Guzape, Abuja, and that criminal and forfeiture proceedings were later used in an attempt to dispossess her of the completed family home. The petition names Colleen Mero Yesufu, Richard John Idakwogi of Rychado Homes Ltd, Kabiru Yaro, Abdulrahman Yesufu and Samuel Chime. It calls for an independent investigation into alleged fraud, conspiracy, disputed title documents, abuse of process and possible attempts to pervert justice. These claims remain allegations contained in the petition. According to the petition, Rebecca paid ₦110 million for the property, spent an additional ₦12 million on land clearing and economic trees, built a residence and moved in with her family. It argues that an EFCC charge reportedly identifies her as the person allegedly deceived in the transaction, while she is also being prosecuted alongside the alleged seller. The petition further questions a reported forfeiture request said to be for the benefit of a private claimant, and asks the EFCC to verify the original allottee, title chain, payment records and the roles of all parties involved before any action is taken on the property.

A petition is not proof on its own, so the competing claims and the basis for any forfeiture should be examined carefully.

It would help if the relevant documents, purchase records, court filings, and EFCC case details are reviewed side by side before drawing conclusions.
