Wike’s Son Submits American Passport In Court Over $2.1m Abuja Land Dispute
Jordan Ezenwo Nyesom-Wike, son of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has submitted his American passport before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja after the court ordered him to produce the document in an ongoing $2.1 million land dispute.
Jordan produced the passport on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, before Justice Sylvanus Oriji at the Maitama Division of the FCT High Court.
The court had earlier directed him to produce the document after he told the court that he was outside Nigeria on September 26, 2025, the date the claimants alleged that he received $2.1 million in connection with a proposed land transaction in Abuja.
The suit, marked CV/008/2026, was filed by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited.
The claimants alleged that Jordan agreed to assist them in acquiring 30 hectares of land in Katampe and another 30 hectares in Guzape.
They further alleged that he requested $2.1 million, which they claimed comprised $2 million allegedly meant for his father and $100,000 described as his personal facilitation fee.
According to the claimants, the money was allegedly handed over in cash on September 26, 2025, in the presence of Adamu Sani, Aliyu Sarki and Sai Wani, while Jordan was allegedly accompanied by Onor Sandy.
They claimed that the promised land was not delivered and the money was not refunded.
Jordan has denied the allegations, maintaining that he has no knowledge of the transaction described by the claimants.
During the proceedings, Jordan told the court that he was not in Nigeria on September 26, 2025, and that he travelled using his American passport.
His statement prompted the application by counsel to the claimants, Hamza Dantani, for the passport to be produced so that his claim of being outside the country on the date in question could be examined.
Jordan, represented by a legal team led by Ogwu Onoja, SAN, subsequently complied with the order and submitted the passport in court.
The court admitted the document for the proceedings, made a photocopy for its records and returned the original to Jordan, while directing his counsel to ensure that it is produced whenever required.
The court also directed Jordan to write his full name and signature five times each on plain sheets of paper.
Justice Oriji thereafter adjourned the case to December 1, 2 and 14, 2026, for continuation of the trial.
The allegations remain contested, with Jordan maintaining his denial as the matter proceeds.
