Court Orders Wike’s Son Jordan To Produce American Passport In $2.1m Abuja Land Fraud Suit
A High Court of the FCT sitting in Maitama has ordered Jordan Ezenwo Nyesom-Wike, son of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, to produce his American passport in court as proceedings resumed in a $2.1 million land fraud suit against him.
Justice Sylvanus Oriji made the order on Tuesday following an application by counsel to the claimants, Hamza Dantani, during the defence of the suit marked CV/008/2026.
The case was filed by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited against Jordan Wike over an alleged $2.1 million transaction involving the proposed acquisition and development of land in Abuja.
According to the claimants, they first met Jordan in London and developed a relationship before meeting again in Abuja, where they allegedly approached him to assist with the acquisition of land in the Federal Capital Territory.
They claim Jordan agreed to facilitate the acquisition of 30 hectares of land in Katampe and another 30 hectares in Guzape.
The claimants further allege that Jordan demanded $2.1 million as a facilitation fee, claiming that $2 million was meant for his father, the FCT Minister, while $100,000 was his personal fee.
They alleged that the money was delivered in cash on September 26, 2025, in the presence of Adamu Sani, Aliyu Sarki and Sai Wani, while Jordan was accompanied by one Onor Sandy.
The claimants further allege that after receiving the money, Jordan failed to deliver the land and did not refund the funds, but subsequently became unreachable.
However, Jordan has denied the allegations and maintained that he has no knowledge of the transaction described by the claimants.
At Tuesday’s proceedings, Jordan adopted his statement on oath in which he denied the claims against him. He was represented by a legal team led by Ogwu Onoja, SAN.
Jordan was also asked where he was on September 26, 2025.
He told the court that he was not in Nigeria on that date and said he travelled with his American passport.
When asked whether he could produce the passport, Jordan indicated that he could if required.
The court has now adjourned the matter until Wednesday for continuation of the trial, with Jordan ordered to produce his American passport.
