The nation's mortgage mess hit and unlikely address as U.S. Marshals oversaw an eviction at a home on Foxhall Road in Georgetown, worth more than one million dollars.
The brick home, assessed at 1.8 million dollars, has five bedrooms, five and a half baths and a very frustrated evicted homeowner. He is a Nigerian businessman, serving as a foreclosure property specialist, who also runs the Potential Millionaires Investment Club.
"I've never seen an eviction on Foxhall Road," said one onlooker. People in the area couldn't help but look when everything that was inside 1616 Foxhall Road was suddenly outside. "That looks like a very expensive property," said another person.
U.S. Marshals evicted Oladipo Aina just days before he said he was planning to refinance his home. "We got the loan. We are closing Friday. What is going on in America?"
The Nigerian businessman spent the day trying to salvage a few things in a wheelbarrow as nearly a dozen workers carried his possessions outside. "Wish him good luck; I hope everything's going to be okay with him."
"I'm going to tell you right now, look at me very well. I'm going to be the richest man in the world." Ania boasted of owning golf and emerald mines and claimed an ability to make any real estate investor a millionaire within six months.
With enough goods to fill a 3,600 square feet home, including two Rolls-Royces, Aina said the items we owns are of a rich man, which were out on display while he's out of a home.
Although much of the information Ania provided is unverifiable, he said he should be able to be back in his home later in the week after he closed on a refinance deal. Neighbors said they would be watching closely to see what happens next.
