Court Orders Wike's Son to Present Passport in Fraud Case
The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Maitama, ordered Jordan Ezenwo Nyesom-Wike, son of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, to produce his American passport in an ongoing trial regarding an alleged $2.1 million fraud. The suit, filed by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited, claims that after meeting Jordan in London and subsequently in Abuja, they agreed on a facilitation fee for acquiring 60 hectares of land in the Federal Capital Territory.
The claimants allege that Jordan informed them that $2 million was for his father, the FCT Minister, and $100,000 was his personal fee. They claim the money was delivered on September 26, 2025, but Jordan neither delivered the land nor returned the funds.
During the trial, Jordan denied the allegations and stated he was out of the country on the delivery date. The court adjourned proceedings for further examination of the case.
