Jordan, son of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has been dragged before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over his alleged involvement in a botched $2.1m land transaction in the nation’s capital.

This is just as Justice Silvanus Oriji of the FCT High Court fixed December 1 for the continuation of the civil suit marked: CV/008/2026, which the claimants filed against Jordan.

Wike’s son was taken to the Court after the alleged failed real estate transaction with the two claimants – Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited.

Daily Trust reports that the claimants are seeking to recover the $2.1m they allegedly paid to Jordan in connection with a proposed property development venture involving land in Katampe and Guzape.


Speaking to journalists on Monday at the court premises, counsel to the claimants, Ibrahim Waru revealed that the EFCC had acknowledged receipt of the plaintiff’s petition, adding that the anti-graft agency was yet to act on it.

According to him, the civil aspect of the dispute is already pending before the High Court of the FCT, while the petition was filed so the EFCC could investigate the alleged criminal elements.

The petition, a copy of which was sighted by our correspondent, the claimants’ representative met Jordan in London, where the two developed a rapport.

They explained that after returning to Nigeria, Jordan allegedly promised to facilitate the acquisition of land in the FCT, claiming he routinely did so and had his father’s knowledge and approval.

The petition said that, to bolster those claims, he placed a telephone call to his father in the claimant’s presence.

He then allegedly assured the claimant that he could secure 30 hectares in Katampe and 30 hectares in Guzape.

It alleged that Jordan demanded and received $2 million as the fee he would deliver to his father to facilitate the allocation, and a further $100,000 as his personal facilitation fee.

The sums were allegedly paid in cash in the presence of two witnesses, Adamu Sani and Aliyu Sarki. Jordan was said to have been accompanied by one Onor Sandy, whom he introduced as a friend and associate.

The petition said he promised to deliver the allocations within a month but failed to do so and became incommunicado.

The UK phone number he supplied is no longer reachable, it added, and efforts to reach him, including through people known to the minister, failed.

The petitioners cited Section 1(1) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act. They asked the EFCC to commence an immediate investigation, arrest and interrogate Jordan, and prosecute him if criminal liability is established.

They said they were ready to provide witnesses and further information, and attached an acknowledgment of payment allegedly signed by him.

Waru said the proof of evidence also included correspondence and WhatsApp exchanges, which he said showed the money was handed over at a house in Gwarinpa, Abuja, in the presence of two witnesses.

Jordan has denied the allegation. He told the court he was not in the country on the date the claimants said they handed over the money, and tendered his international passport in support.

He said he travelled out of Nigeria on his American passport within the period the claimants said they met him in Abuja.

Although the case was adjourned for continuation of hearing, the claimants have petitioned the Chief Judge of the court to remove Justice Oriji from the matter, citing his alleged relationship with the family of the FCT Minister.

Just imagine this shamelessness and corruption. It is obvious that spoiled brat of a son must have been involved in land racketeering. Meanwhile let the EFCC do a thorough job to determine his culpability

Guys, do transaction with video evidence and wire transfer. It's obvious, recovery will be difficult. From Court to EFCC . That boy pulled OBT Obtaining by False Pretence.
I've lost $8k to NIMASA Job deal in 2020, though the criminal is in jail. Thanks to bank transfer.

OBT (Obtaining by False Pretences) is a criminal offense in Nigeria defined under Section 419 of the Criminal Code (and related provisions in the Advance Fee Fraud Act), where a person intentionally lies, pretends, or deceives someone to acquire money, property, or valuable items.

Sympathisers, thinking punishment won't be passed because of paying bribes is misleading. Advance Fee Fraud is punishable.

you go explain tire

That's a Nigga doing the Nigga things

Cursed family..

This is for those that keep supporting these evil people in government just for crumbs, hear what Wike's son said below:

"He said he travelled out of Nigeria on his American passport within the period the claimants said they met him in Abuja."

Can you all see. He didn't bother using his Nigerian passport to save himself the stress that comes with it. He travels with his American passport.

Whereas you that you shouting your lungs out for them because of peanuts have nothing tangible to show for it.

How long will you continue like this?

When will you wake up and free yourself from this captivity.

Wike and those other politicians you are supporting are using your patrimony to position their generation's future well.

Yet, you said poverty life is what you deserve!

Think of your children and generation's future as well now!

Abi, is it a sin or crime for you also to live a good life with your family and Not a life of mediocrity?

Reason am well o!

The dude told them to bring cash and the idiots don't even have video evidence if the transaction even if it is taken covertly, very bad of them.

The dude was even denying he has never met them in his lifetime , a simple video evidence would have crush all his testimonies in court.

Yekini Amoda will order for his release! Thieves!!

See wetin this spoilt brat dey do? Like father like son.

His father is very unpopular to many Nigerians, so there are people who would what to get at his father and now here comes the opportunity.

I feel the naive greedy boy was baited and he took the bait. His father's status can't save him.

Lol. Nothing will come out of it. They paid the money to him in cash in London as they said. So the crime was not committed here in Nigeria. If the money was taken away from here to over see to his bank account then EFCC could do a thing about it but with the help of interpol. If not there is no hope for those guys. And they can’t go to interpol to them that they were carrying 2m dollars in cash while in London. It also puts them in hot soup. Nothing will come out come out of this case sadly

If they were foolish enough to pay such amount in cash without leaving any payment trail then they are fools and Jordan should go and enjoy his loot in pieces because there will be fatal consequences.

This is a proof that no amount of money can make a greedy man satisfied.you would think this ones already have stolen and generational wealth with investments, but they are still scamming at the slightest chance.
The owner of the money most likely wasting his time, no evidence to substantiate the claims,

Who even pays 2.1millon dollars in cash equivalent of almost 3billion naira? If not a very shady person/group. Money is gone.

I can tell 💯 the case is dead on arrival. They went and paid cash to him in London. The efcc won’t do anything about it. The company too won’t even involve interpol because it is money laundering to be carrying 2m dollars in cash in the Uk

The boy is smart,, smooth operator

Exactly what i said. You paid cash to him in London. Two things the crime was commuted overseas and cash paid to him.

This one na early starter...early bird things.

Some people are used to poverty all there lives, they've lived in poverty.

The EFCC is compromised and cannot be trusted. It's the ruling party's lapdog.

Nigerian court won’t still do anything about it. The crime was committed in London and not in Nigeria. They will need to go make the case in the Uk but sadly they can’t also because why would you be carry 2m dollars cash. The UK company will go after their company. They should be mindful of how they are even pursuing this case. They could get a criminal charge in the Uk for money laundering
