In a statement, Saturday, signed by the Director of Press and Public Relations, Badamasi Haiba, the ministry said it only recently took custody of the property from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in line with directives from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He said the alert was as a result of fraudsters soliciting money from unsuspecting Nigerians under the guise of selling slots in the estate, lamenting the scammers are demanding N500,000 for fake “Expression of Interest” forms on behalf of the ministry.
The statement read: “The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development wishes to alert the general public that it has not yet commenced any process for the sale of the 753 – unit housing estate linked to former CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, which it has taken custody of from the EFCC, a few days ago.
“This clarification became necessary as reports reaching the Ministry indicated that scammers were already on the move to defraud Nigerians, claiming they have slots from the housing ministry to sell the houses, asking for N500,000 for purchase of non existent expression of interest form.
“For avoidance of doubt, the Ministry has just taken over the estate from the EFCC as directed by Mr. President, the houses will be completed by the ministry and all the necessary infrastructure will be provided before offering to the public for sale and for special needs of the government.
