Introduction: Your Dream Investment Could Be a Nightmare
Are you eyeing a lucrative real estate deal in Anambra State? Stop!

The Anambra State Government has issued an urgent warning about encroachments on state-owned lands, and falling for these scams could cost you everything. In this post, we’ll uncover the truth about these fraudulent schemes, share expert insights, and guide you on protecting your investment. Don’t risk financial ruin—read on to stay safe!
The Alarming Rise of Anambra Land Scams
Recently, the Anambra State Ministry of Lands raised a red flag about illegal encroachments on government-owned properties, including Mamu Forest Reserve, Awka 2.0, and Ndiukwu-enu town. According to a statement signed by Permanent Secretary Nkeiru Mokwe, unscrupulous sellers are deceiving buyers into purchasing lands that belong to the state. Consequently, the government vows to reclaim these properties by any means necessary, leaving buyers empty-handed.
Why is this happening?
Some villagers exploit unsuspecting investors, selling lands they don’t own. As a result, buyers face not only financial loss but also legal battles. Rex Chinedu Agoawuike, host of Encumbered Properties Red Alert, warns that ignorance is no excuse when you’re caught in these scams.
Expert Insights: Why You’re at Risk
To understand the severity of Anambra land scams, we spoke with Mr. Madueke Enwere, a senior police officer, property lawyer, and founder of EncumberedProperties.com. He explains, “Ignorant buyers fall victim because they don’t verify land status. If you buy from the wrong person, especially in a government-reserved area like Mamu Forest Reserve, you lose everything.”
Moreover, sellers who knowingly peddle state-owned lands face criminal charges for fraud. “It’s a lose-lose situation,” Enwere adds. “The buyer loses money, and the seller risks jail time for obtaining money under false pretenses.” Unfortunately, many scammers vanish after collecting payments, leaving victims with no recourse.
How to Protect Yourself from Land Fraud
Thankfully, you can avoid Anambra land scams with these simple steps:
Verify Land Status: Always check with the Anambra State Ministry of Lands before purchasing. Additionally, consult EncumberedProperties.com for real-time updates on disputed properties.
Work with Experts: Engage a trusted property lawyer to review documents and confirm ownership.
Stay Informed: Subscribe to Encumbered Properties Red Alert for the latest warnings on encumbered properties.
Avoid Rush Deals: Scammers often pressure buyers into quick decisions. Take your time to research thoroughly.
By following these steps, you can safeguard your investment and avoid devastating losses.
The Consequences of Ignoring the Warning
What happens if you buy an encroached property? First, the Anambra State Government will seize the land, leaving you with nothing. Second, you’ll lose your investment, as recovering money from fraudulent sellers is nearly impossible. Worst of all, you could face legal trouble for unknowingly participating in a scam. For example, purchasing land in Mamu Forest Reserve, a government-protected area, guarantees trouble.
Enwere emphasizes, “This channel is your friend. Stay updated to avoid disputed properties.” Don’t let desperation for a good deal lead to destruction.

Anambra land scams are a growing threat, but you don’t have to be a victim. By verifying land status and staying updated through EncumberedProperties.com, you can invest with confidence. Don’t let scammers steal your dreams—act now to protect your future.
