DEMOLISHED HOMES AND SHATTERED DREAMS
In Abuja today, PSC (Police Service Commission) and Broadview Estates stand as a painful reminder of what happens when property buyers ignore proper due diligence. Families who poured their life savings into their dream homes are now watching them being demolished.
Watch the full video on YouTube:
Why? Because the estates were developed on land that was never approved, with portions sitting directly on a government road already captured in the Abuja Master Plan. Despite repeated warnings and markings for demolition by Development Control, investors continued to buy into Broadview and PSC Estates without verifying its true legal status.
The truth is harsh: greedy developers cut corners, while unsuspecting investors trusted glossy brochures and promises — only to discover too late that their “dream investment” was built on disputed ground. Some plots within the estates were already allocated years earlier to other individuals, and others had no planning approval at all.
The result? Millions of naira gone. Homes reduced to rubble. Families left with nothing but regrets.
HOW ENCUMBEREDPROPERTIES.COM EXPOSED THE TRUTH
At EncumberedProperties.com, we have always warned that not every land offered for sale is safe for investment. Broadview Estate is one of the many estates we flagged for its unclear title and approval issues.
In fact, after our video exposé, the estate developers threatened legal action, demanding retractions and even claiming damages. But rather than retract, we went further. Our search at the Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS) revealed undeniable facts:
- Part of the land was allocated to another individual, Mr. Michael Kayode, as far back as 1998.
- Broadview’s allocation came later, in 2000, making Kayode’s title superior.
- The estate expanded beyond its original allocation of three hectares, encroaching into government road reserves.
- Physical planning approvals were still incomplete, meaning the estate should never have been allowed to build where it did.
These findings confirmed our position: Broadview Estate is not a safe investment. Our work prevented many others from falling into the same trap.
