Jordan Nyesom-Wike Submits Passport in $2.1M Land Case

The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Maitama, admitted the American passport of Jordan Nyesom-Wike, son of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, as evidence in a $2.1 million land transaction dispute. Justice Silvanus Oriji accepted the passport during proceedings in case CV/008/2026, initiated by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil & Gas Nigeria Limited.

Jordan denied involvement in the transaction and presented the passport after the court ordered him to do so, asserting he was outside Nigeria on September 26, 2025, when the claimants alleged they delivered the funds to him in Abuja. The claimants accused Jordan of demanding $2.1 million for facilitating the acquisition of 60 hectares of land in Abuja, claiming he did not fulfill his obligations after receiving the money.

The court has scheduled further hearings for December 1, 2, and 14, and directed Jordan's counsel, Chief Ogwu Onoja (SAN), to ensure the passport is available as needed.
