To avoid falling victim if you want to buy land in Kubwa, insist on due diligence search by a lawyer you engaged. Don’t rely on the lawyer or any lawyer recommended to you by the entity selling the land. Make sure that the land you are buying, have verifiable AGIS papers-Area Council or village/district head has no right to allocate land to you. Per adventure such is being marketed to you, make sure the agent gives you evidence of pre-el Rufai allocation offer or cross copy if the land had exchanged hand. With these, you should still conduct a search at AGIS before parting with your hard earned money.
Again, never buy land or property in Kubwa that the agent claims has “small court case” or that judgment in court of first instance had been given in his favor but the other party appealed.
