The person responsible wasn’t a sc@mm£r. Wasn’t a neighbour. Wasn’t someone he met online. The truth was far w©rse.
When he found out who did it, our entire family nearly fell apart.
Back in 2018, my uncle got a job opportunity in the United States. Before leaving Nigeria, he entrusted someone close to him with all the documents to his unfinished house in Eneka. “Just supervise the workers for me,” he said.
At first, everything looked perfect. Pictures of fresh block work arrived regularly. Videos showed roofing progress. Receipts appeared whenever he requested updates.
Whenever relatives asked about the project, my uncle would smile proudly and said, “Everything is going well.” Nobody suspected anything. Then small cracks started appearing.
Workers complained about unpaid salaries. Suppliers claimed they were still being owed money. Construction kept stopping and starting. Every time my uncle asked questions, there was always an explanation.
The exchange rate had increased. Building materials were more expensive. Area boys had d¿sr¥pted work. Normal Nigerian stories. So my uncle kept sending money.
Over two years, he transferred almost ₦25 million for the project. Then one December, he decided to surprise everyone. Without informing anybody, he booked a flight home. He wanted to see the house with his own eyes.
What he found nearly broke him. Another family was already living inside the property. At first, he thought there had been a mistake. There hadn’t.
The house no longer belonged to him. After making inquiries, the shocking truth finally emerged.
The person he trusted to oversee the project had secretly used the original documents to secure a loan from a cooperative society.
When the loan could not be repaid, the property was seized and sold. Just like that….”
