A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory has ordered Jordan Ezenwo Nyesom-Wike, son of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to produce his American passport before the court in an alleged $2.1 million fraud case.
Justice Silvanus made the order following an application by counsel to the claimants, Hamza Dantani, during proceedings in the suit marked CV/008/2026.
The case was instituted by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited against Jordan, over allegations surrounding the proposed acquisition of land in the Federal Capital Territory.
According to the claimants, they met Jordan in London, where they developed a friendship. They said that about three months later, they met again in Abuja and approached him for assistance in facilitating the acquisition of land in the FCT.
The claimants alleged that Jordan agreed to facilitate the acquisition of 30 hectares of land in Katampe and another 30 hectares in Guzape.
They further alleged that Jordan demanded a facilitation fee of $2.1 million, claiming that $2 million was meant for his father, the FCT Minister, while $100,000 represented his personal fee.
The claimants 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 allegedly accompanied by one Onor Sandy.
They told the court that after receiving the money, Jordan neither facilitated the acquisition of the alleged land nor refunded the funds.
The claimants further alleged that he subsequently became unreachable.
The passport-production order was made during the defendant’s defence after counsel to the claimants made the application.
The allegations remain the subject of litigation, and the court is yet to make a final determination on the claims.
Jordan and other parties named in the proceedings are entitled to present their defence before the court reaches a decision on the matter.
