Fraud: Customers Urge Police To Rearrest Estate Developer

Customers of a real estate company, ‘Livelihood Homes Limited’, popularly known as the De-villa are demanding that the police declare the Managing Director of the firm, Felix Nworgu, wanted over alleged fraudulent practices.
The Police said investigation was ongoing to unravel the truth following the alleged selling of lands in Ikwerre Local Government Area to unsuspecting members of the public by an estate developer and owner of the De-Villa.
One of the customers, Micheal Ezedike, who spoke on behalf of others, made the call when they paid a visit to the Rivers State Police Headquarters in Port Harcourt, the State capital yesterday.
Ezedilke alleged that Felix was expected to meet with the State Police Commissioner, Mustapha Dan-Daura, for further interrogation on the land fraud allegation a fortnight ago, but failed to honour the invitation.
According to him, “It is right that the Police would have declared this man wanted before now, knowing fully well what is involved. The question we are asking is that is it when this man travels outside Nigeria or when he runs that they will declare him wanted?
“What about our money? Nobody can tell us he is above the Rivers State Police Command. We are talking about one man here giving us issue. But we cannot take the laws into our hands. This man was arrested by the Police and it is the police that left (released him on bail) this man,” he said.
Speaking to newsmen on the developmnt, spokesperson of the State Police Command, Nnamdi Omoni, appealed to those concerned to exercise patient and allow for holistic investigation into the matter.
“Well, as far as we are concerned, the matter is receiving serious attention such that we will not be able to say on air. But I want to assure the victims that is his clients, that they will get justice in the circumstance.
“We have deployed everything in our arsenal to ensure that De-Villa is brought to justice. So we only need the cooperation and understanding of the public, especially the victims.
“”Let them be patient and also compose themselves because this man we have seen may inadvertently penetrate them, break their ranks and then steal the show,” he warned.
