What the FHA spokesman is saying

Chigelu said, “Our attention has been drawn to the activities of unscrupulous persons claiming to be agents of the FHA for the sale of land in FESTAC Town.’’

He maintained that FHA did not appoint anybody or organisation as its agent, saying, “Those putting up such advertisement are mere impostors.

“Members of the public are warned not to do business with these impostors. The said advertisement is a scam.”

The FHA spokesman urged the public to deal directly with the authority’s managing director or zonal managers when making land transactions.

He said, “Meanwhile, the areas being advertised by fruadsters in FESTAC Town are not even for sale. We don’t relate with the public through agents in any way.

“Anyone who deals with the impostors does so at their own risks.’’
