TRIXX NG reports that PWAN Group, a Lagos-based real estate company, has been accused by several customers of failing to allocate their purchased landed properties, despite payments made and receipts issued over a decade ago.
In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) by popular influencer Scot Iguma, multiple customers shared accounts of their experiences during transactions with PWAN Group.
One of the victims narrated that she bought a piece of land from the company in Asaba in 2021 but has yet to receive the property or a refund. She stated that after failed attempts to recover her investment, she took the company to court—only to be misled into withdrawing the case.
“As it is now, PWAN has made me lose so many things. I wrote a petition against them and had them arrested last year. They really scammed me. What they do is, when you drag them, they send you an allocation letter and paper. They've done this twice, and I kept spending money. But when I asked for the deed and survey plan, they said the property had issues. They then took me to another location, and another issue came up.
They’ve taken me to four allocation sites, but never gave me a single document for any of them. They said I couldn’t even start anything like fencing. I offered to do the deed and survey myself, but they told me not to.
I took the case to court, and they called me, asking me to withdraw it in exchange for my documents. I did—but up till now, nothing has been done.”

Another victim shared that his uncle purchased a plot of land from PWAN in 2014 but never received an allocation before passing away in 2019. All attempts to claim the land or get information from the company since then have reportedly failed.
“My uncle died in 2019, and while sorting his documents, I found a PWAN file showing he bought land in 2014. He had told me about it before. We met with our lawyer and visited the company in 2022.
They acknowledged that the land was purchased from them and promised to get back to us—but since then, they have not responded to any of our messages.”

In addition to those who never received any allocation, some customers said they were allocated land but later discovered the government had taken over the properties.
