Jordan Ezenwo Nyesom-Wike, son of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has denied any involvement in an alleged $2.1 million Abuja land transaction.
Jordan made the denial while testifying before an FCT High Court presided over by Justice Silvanus Oriji, where he told the court that his signature appearing on a document relating to the alleged land deal was forged.
He also maintained that he had no relationship or dealings with the claimants in the case.
During cross-examination by counsel to the claimants, Hamza Dantani, Jordan said he was outside Nigeria around the time he was allegedly said to have received money for the transaction on September 26, 2025.
“I did not receive any money from anybody. I did not sign any document for land deal, I only found out that my signature was on the land document just like anyone else in this court yesterday (Tuesday).
“I never had any friend named Onor Sandy and I did not have any deal with anyone regarding land deal,” he said.
At the previous hearing, the court had ordered Jordan to produce his travel passport following an application by counsel to the claimants.
At Wednesday’s proceedings, he presented a photocopy of the passport and undertook to produce the original whenever required by the court.
The suit, marked CV/008/2026, was filed by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited against Jordan in connection with the alleged land transaction.
The claimants alleged that they met Jordan in London and developed a friendship before meeting again in Abuja about three months later. They claimed that they subsequently approached him to assist with the acquisition of land in the FCT.
According to the claimants, Jordan agreed to facilitate the acquisition of 30 hectares of land in Katampe and another 30 hectares in Guzape. They further alleged that he requested a facilitation fee of $2.1 million, comprising $2 million allegedly meant for his father, the FCT Minister, and $100,000 said to be his personal fee.
The claimants alleged that the money was delivered on September 26, 2025, in the presence of Adamu Sani, Aliyu Sarki and Sai Wani, while Jordan was accompanied by an individual identified as Onor Sandy.
Jordan has denied the allegations and maintained that he neither received the money nor participated in the transaction.
The case has been adjourned until December 1, 2026, for continuation of trial.
