Alleged $2.1m Land Deal: Lawyers Clash Over Case Involving Wike’s Son

Two lawyers clashed over an alleged $2.1 million Abuja land transaction involving Jordan Nyesom-Wike, son of Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike. Jordan’s lawyer, Ogwu Onoja, says his client denied in court ever meeting Safwan Garba G.Y. or taking part in the transaction, and accuses claimant’s counsel Ibrahim Waru of misrepresenting the facts. Waru says his clients possess an acknowledgment receipt bearing Jordan’s signature and WhatsApp messages from a number Jordan admitted was his that show discussions about the payment. He said his interview was intended to clarify the facts and that civil and criminal cases can proceed concurrently.
