*An incredibly fascinating case of JERRY USENI’s Property in London*

– Jeremiah “Jerry Boy” Useni bought a house with stolen money, as Nigerian Generals do, and without thinking too much of it, registers it in the name of a non-existent woman.
– Nearing the end of his life, he perhaps wants to give the house to Barrister Ozekhome (a SAN, I hasten to add) to settle a debt or as a gift
– As the fake woman in whose name the property is owned does not exist, Ozekhome finds an actual living man with the same name to transfer the property to him
– Court says house belongs to woman so man cannot obviously transfer it. A right old mess ensues that leads to practically every type of Nigerian identity documentation proven to be fake (so when next your Nigerian document is looked at with suspicion outside of Nigeria, it is because of people like these).
-Ozekhome’s “clever” plan backfires. Court says property belongs to non-existent woman and since woman is non-existent, she cannot transfer property because, nemo dat.
– Jerry Boy is now dead. Property stuck.

As I always say, the behaviour of the Nigerian elite is truly something to behold
