Court Orders Ramat Mercy Mba Of Ramaosca Nigeria Ltd To Refund N70M Over Failed Land Deal

A High Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has ordered a businesswoman, Ramat Mercy Mba to pay the sum of N70 million to a client over failure to deliver on a land transaction.
Justice F.E. Messiri sitting in Jabi division of the court on Thursday ordered that the refunds be made to the Edo State-based businessman, John Ogedengbe amounting to N67,350,000 and a general damages of N3,000,000.
The order was sequel to an application by counsel to Ogedengbe, Edidiong Usungurua against Mba and her company, Ramaosca Nigeria Ltd over failure to procure the land or refund the sum.
The defendants had through their counsel, A.W. Chijioke Esq contended that they did not receive the said amount from the claimant but N10 million for the facilitation of allocation of land from the FCT Administration and not a sale of land to the claimant.
The defendants contended that claim was “vexatious, frivolous, embarrassing, spurious and unfounded allegation as they are mere assertions made by the plaintiff.”
However, the claimant submitted that he met the defendants in 2021 through one Barrister Emmanuel Ndueche who introduced them as realtors.
He averred that they had offered to help him acquire land in Jabi, Katampe and Maitama, Abuja, which he accepted and paid them a cumulative sum of N67,350,000 in two installments through their Zenith Bank Plc account.
