Wells Carlton Warns Against Fraudulent Sale, Lease Claims On Abuja Hotel

The management of The Wells Carlton Hotel & Apartments, Asokoro, Abuja, has issued a public disclaimer on any purported sale, lease, or third-party management arrangement involving the property, describing such claims as fraudulent.

In a statement released through media consultant Mr Courage Moses, the management reaffirmed that the luxury property remains solely owned by the company and was not available for sale under any circumstances.

“The Wells Carlton Hotel & Apartments belongs exclusively to the family of the late Dr Wells Idahosa Okunbo,” Moses stated. “The property is not for sale, and no group or agent has been authorised to transact any business in respect of the property without the express written consent of the owner.”

The statement urged members of the public and prospective investors to be wary of individuals or organisations falsely presenting themselves as agents or representatives of the owners, warning that any such dealings are illegal, fraudulent, and constitute trespass.

“Any person or entity engaging in transactions relating to the property without proper authorisation does so at their own risk. The owner will not honour any agreements entered into with unauthorised parties, as such transactions are null and void from the outset,” Moses added.

The company further warned that unauthorised interference with the property could attract both civil and criminal liability, and reiterated its readiness to pursue legal action against offenders.

Wells Carlton also used the statement to reaffirm its commitment to growing The Wells Carlton brand and preserving the legacy of its founder, the late Capt. (Dr.) Idahosa Wells Okunbo.

“The family remains committed to strengthening and expanding the brand in honour of their patriarch and has no intention of disposing of the property.”
