A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama has ordered Jordan Wike, son of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, to produce his international passport in court in a disputed $2.1 million land transaction.
Justice Sylvanus Oriji issued the order on Tuesday following an application by counsel to the claimants, Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited.
The suit, marked CV/008/2026, centres on allegations that Jordan agreed to facilitate the acquisition of 60 hectares of land in Abuja, comprising 30 hectares in Katampe and another 30 hectares in Guzape.
Counsel to the claimants, Hamza Dantani, told the court that the parties initially met in London before holding further discussions in Abuja over the proposed land transaction.
The claimants alleged that Jordan demanded $2.1 million for the deal, with $2 million purportedly intended for his father and the remaining $100,000 for himself.
They further alleged that the money was handed over on September 26, 2025, in the presence of Adamu Sani, Aliyu Sarki and Sai Wani, while Jordan was accompanied by Onor Sandy.
According to the claimants, Jordan failed to deliver the land after receiving the money and did not refund the funds, before subsequently becoming unreachable.
Jordan has denied the allegations.
At Tuesday’s proceedings, he adopted his statement on oath and rejected the claims against him. He was represented by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ogwu Onoja.
During cross-examination, Dantani questioned Jordan about his movements and travel documents.
Asked where he was on September 26, 2025, Jordan told the court that he was outside Nigeria.
He was then asked which passport he used to travel, to which he replied that he travelled with his American international passport and could produce the document if required.
Following the response, Dantani applied for the passport to be produced in court.
Justice Oriji granted the application and directed Jordan to produce the document.
Earlier, the claimants’ counsel had also asked Jordan to write his full name and signature five times each on a plain sheet of paper. The application was granted without objection from the defence.
The court adjourned the case until Wednesday for continuation of proceedings.
