These are not comfortable times for some ‘super
rich’ civil servants,YesReport Blog learn that they are rushing
to sell their choice houses and state-of-the-art
automobiles in order to avoid losing the properties
to the no-nonsense anti-corruption war that
President Muhammadu Buhari is about to start
from Abuja.
Already, the ICPC has reportedly confiscated some
buildings said to have been owned by public
servants whose earnings are said not to support
ownership of such big houses.
For fear of Buhari, some corrupt big civil servants
have been bombarding estate agents in Abuja in
order to aid the quick sale of their houses...
According to Punch, financially buoyant buyers
were said to have started cashing in on the
development.
It was gathered that the sale of properties in Abuja
since the new administration came on board had
increased by about 30 per cent. In fact, it was
learnt that property sales in the FCT increased
“tremendously” within the past four weeks, in
contrast to the lull that characterised the sector
from January to May this year.
“The probe has created panic. People now consult
us, requesting our assistance in helping them sell
their properties. Of course, they won’t say they are
trying to avoid probe, but most of us know that
that is what they are avoiding,” an agent and
member of the Real Estate Developers Association
of Nigeria, who pleaded not to be identified, said.
