  • Diaspora Lakeview Estate makes debut in Lekki

    A real estate company, Diaspora Lakeview Estates Limited, said it is partnering  with Thesaurus Gardens Limited to co-develop ‘Diaspora Lakeview Estate’ which is the first CCTV powered estate of its kind.

    The estate is located within the Caribbean Lake City, along Lekki-Epe Expressway, opposite Crown Estate, and situated in the neighbourhood of other estates namely Emperor Estate, Fara Park and Novare Mall.

    According to the promoters who spoke to the The Nation they revealed that  the Lagos State  allocated to Thesaurus Gardens Limited 51 hectares of land, from which Diaspora Lakeview Estates Ltd derives its title.

    They said the joint venture would seek to improve and restore confidence of Nigerians abroad who have always wanted to invest in landed properties but have fallen victims to land grabbers popularly referred to as ‘Omo-Oniles’.

    The Managing Director of Thesaraus Gardens Limited, Bolaji Olasode, said the collaboration with Diaspora Lakeview Estates Limited is strategic for both companies geared towards giving prospective land owners a peace of mind in acquiring property.

    He went further to state that a unique feature of the estate is the waterway transport system through which people can travel by sea to all parts of Lagos State, while stressing that the cost of land at the Diaspora Lakeview Estate will appreciate rapidly and the return on investment is speculated at 100 per cent in two years.

    According to the Chairman of Diaspora Lakeview Estates Limited, Prince Williams-Joel  said  the innovation in real estate will seek to provide an outstanding level of service, excellence, expertise, and security in securing real estate investment and development.

    He said: “We act in the best interest of our clients who are domiciled abroad by offering unquestionable ethics on all land transactions. Through this joint venture, we are restoring people’s confidence in investing in Nigeria, having fallen victims of fraudsters in the past. The Diaspora Lakeview Estate is one of its kind because you do not have to travel several kilometres to purchase a land; we bring the land to your door step, home or abroad, and considering that everyone wants to own a land in Lagos State, the Centre of Excellence, it would be a very good opportunity to invest in this unique offer.”

    Joel further said that the estate will boast of 24 hours power supply, internet services, waterways transportation, amongst others.

    As part of its goal in offering affordable real estate services, the company is embarking on a Real Estate Promo with a plot of land being sold for only N10, 000,000 (Ten Million Naira) as against N12, 500,000 (Twelve Million and Five Hundred Thousand Naira) and the promo closes on the 16th of February, 2019.

    Whilst enumerating the benefits of acquiring land especially along the Lekki-Epe axis of Lagos State, he also stated that preparations are on top gear to make similar arrangements for those interested in developed buildings in Abuja and Port Harcourt, with a development of duplexes and blocks of flats.

  • Cynthia: Court fixes January 12 for final address

    Cynthia: Court fixes January 12 for final address

    The Lagos State High Court in Igbosere has fixed January 12 for adoption of final address in the trial of alleged killers of Miss Cynthia Osokogu.

    The late Osokogu was allegedly murdered on July 22, 2012 at Cosmilla Hotel, Lakeview Estate, Festac Town, Lagos, by her Facebook lover.

    Those charges with the murder are Okwumo Nwabufo (33), Olisaeloka Ezike (23), Orji Osita (33), and Ezike Nonso (25).

    They were arraigned on six counts of conspiracy, murder, stealing, reckless negligence and possession of stolen goods.

    Thursday, Ezike’s lawyer, Mr A. Nwachukwu, sought the court’s leave to file his written address.

    Justice Olabisi Akinlade had on October 27, threatened to foreclose Ezike’s right to file the address.

    She said despite several adjournments, the second defendant failed to file the address on time.

    The lawyer said the delay was due to a change of counsel. The former counsel was unable to file the address within time due to ill-health, he said.

    “The former lawyer handling this case was very ill. I was newly briefed; therefore, I needed time to study the proceedings. There were 10 witnesses in this case which I had to study their testimonies.

    “I seek the leave of this court to regularise my final written address,” Nwachukwu said.

    Prosecution counsel, including Director for Public Prosecutions, Mrs Elizabeth Alakija, did not object to Nwachukwu’s prayers.

    Justice Akinlade granted the prayer “in the interest of justice”.

    She adjourned until January 12 when a date for judgment will be fixed.

  • My victim’s generosity led to my arrest, says robbery suspect

    My victim’s generosity led to my arrest, says robbery suspect

    An armed robbery suspect, Ifeanyi Smart, 26, who was arrested inside a hospital around Mile Two has said he was unmasked because of his victim’s generosity.

    Smart and one Deji (still at large) had attacked one Cyril Uba at his residence on Bola Lateef crescent, Lakeview Estate, Amuwo Odofin.

    The suspects allegedly tied up the housemaid who they first encountered before entering the man’s room where he, alongside his wife and children were hiding.

    “As soon as we entered the man’s room, I tried to hit him with an axe I was holding but he blocked it with his hand and gave me a head blow. I lost balance and he took the axe from me and hit it on Deji.

    “So, we ran out of the house with serious wounds and the man was chasing us. Later in the morning, I went to AMC Hospital around Mile Two to treat my injury.

    “I did not know that the man was also being treated in the same hospital. At the hospital I was shouting that I was hungry and I don’t have money. The man who was in another ward heard someone screaming and sent N5, 000.

    “He did not know I was the one and I did not know him either. I really did not know the house we went to because it was Deji who took me there. So, after collecting the money, I decided to go and thank the good man who gave a stranger N5,000 to eat. After thanking the man, I went back to the place they were treating me. That’s where I was before the police came and arrested me.”

    Unknown to Smart, the housemaid had noticed a tattoo on his upper arm with the inscription “the Lord is my Shepherd.”

    According to the police, the victim lodged a complaint at the station before going to the hospital for treatment and he indicated that the maid identified a tattoo on the upper arm of one of the suspects.

    “When the man gave him the money. He did not know it was the people who have robbed him until the suspect went and thanked him. As soon as the suspect approached the man, he saw the tattoo and also saw his injury, which was at the same spot he hit him.

    “So, the man called the maid to come and gave her another N5, 000 to go and give the suspect in order to identify him. As soon as the maid saw the suspect, she recognised him as the person who tied her. That was how we arrested him,” said a police source.

    Confirming his arrest, the state command’s spokesperson, Dolapo Badmos, a Superintendent of Police  (SP) said effort was on to arrest Deji, adding that the case will soon be charged to court.
