Court orders Wike’s son Jordan to produce American Passport over $2.1m land fraud suit

An FCT High Court sitting in Maitama has ordered Jordan Wike, son of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to produce his American international passport before the court.

Justice Sylvanus Oriji issued the order on Tuesday during the resumed hearing of a suit filed against Jordan by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Ltd.

The order followed an application by the claimants’ counsel, Hamza Dantani, after Jordan told the court during cross-examination that he travelled out of Nigeria on September 26, 2025.

The suit, marked CV/008/2026, arose from allegations by the claimants that they met Jordan in London and subsequently established a relationship.

They alleged that after meeting him again in Abuja, they approached him for assistance in facilitating the acquisition of land in the FCT.

According to the claimants, Jordan represented that he could facilitate the acquisition of 30 hectares of land in Katampe and another 30 hectares in Guzape.

They further alleged that Jordan demanded $2.1 million as facilitation fees, with $2 million purportedly meant for his father and $100,000 for himself.

The claimants said the money was delivered 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 after receiving the money, Jordan failed to facilitate the acquisition of the properties or refund the funds and subsequently became unreachable.

At Tuesday’s proceedings, Jordan adopted his statement on oath, in which he denied the allegations.

He was represented by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ogwu Onoja, while some documents were also tendered through him.

During cross-examination by Dantani, Jordan denied knowledge of the allegations and documents presented to him by the claimants’ counsel.

Dantani subsequently asked the court to direct Jordan to write his full name and signature five times each on a plain sheet of paper.

The application was not opposed by the defence and was granted by Justice Oriji.

When asked where he was on September 26, 2025, Jordan told the court that he was outside Nigeria.

Counsel then asked him which international passport he used to travel.

Jordan replied that he travelled with his American international passport and said he could produce the document if required.

Following the response, Dantani applied for an order compelling Jordan to produce the passport in court.

Justice Oriji granted the application and directed the defendant to produce the document.

The court subsequently adjourned the matter until Wednesday for continuation of the hearing.
