The Imo State Government, through the Office of the Governor’s Monitoring and Compliance unit, has officially disowned land allocation documents circulating in the state, particularly for the Irete Pocket Layout.

The government clarified that it did not issue these documents, including a recently surfaced offer letter purportedly from the Imo State Housing Corporation.

In a public announcement signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Monitoring/Compliance Nze Chinasa Nwaneri, the government declared that no approval or authorization was granted to the Imo Housing Corporation concerning any allocation at Irete Pocket Layout, Reserve C Extension, Imo Housing Estate Avu, Obinze and Port Harcourt Road axis.

The statement described all related land allocation papers as fake and fraudulently backdated.

Nwaneri identified a specific document, titled ‘Concessional/Compensatory Offer’ and dated January 23, 2019, which allegedly grants allocation of Plot 137A at Irete Pocket Layout to a private entity, as an example of such a fraudulent offer.

“The government has warned that any transaction based on such documents is at the risk of the buyer and will attract the full weight of the law,” he said. (The Nation)
