A foreign business executive bought a vacant lot in Manalapan for $12.45 million, or 55 percent more than the previous owner paid in 2008.

The buyer is a company managed by Onajite Okoloko, a Nigerian business executive who owns a home in Boca Raton. According to his resume, he is the chief executive officer of a fertilizer company called Notore Chemical Industries.

Palm Beach County records also show that Okoloko got a $7.47 million loan from Florida Community Bank on the same day the county recorded the deed for the vacant lot.
