Some house seekers have cried out on social media for help after being defrauded of their hard-earned money by a self acclaimed agent. The agent reportedly took money from over 100 people who wanted to secure a house in the Surulere area of Lagos.

However, days after paying off their rents to the agent, they found out that there are several others who paid for the same apartment. They have now called for government intervention to recover their monies as some of them claimed that they used up all their savings in renting the house.

The victims who spoke during an interview with Punch, narrated how they paid different sums of money and ended up with no apartment.
