A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, Abuja has ordered Jordan Wike, son of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to produce his American international passport before the court.
Justice Sylvanus Oriji gave the order on Tuesday at the resumed hearing of a suit filed against Jordan by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited.
The claimants, through their counsel, Hamza Dantani, had asked the court to compel the defendant to produce the passport after he told the court during cross-examination that he travelled out of Nigeria on September 26, 2025.
The suit, marked CV/008/2026, followed allegations by the claimants that they met Jordan in London and subsequently developed a relationship.
According to the claimants, they later met Jordan in Abuja and approached him for assistance to facilitate the acquisition of land in the Federal Capital Territory.
They alleged that Jordan assured them that he could facilitate the acquisition of 30 hectares of land in Katampe and another 30 hectares in Guzape.
The claimants further alleged that Jordan demanded $2.1 million as facilitation fees, with $2 million allegedly meant for his father and $100,000 for himself.
They claimed that the money was delivered on Septembe4 26, 2025, in the presence of Adamu Sani, Aliyu Sarki and Sai Wani, while Jordan was accompanied by Onor Sandy.
The claimants alleged that after receiving the money, Jordan neither facilitated the acquisition of the land nor refunded the money, but subsequently became unreachable.
During Tuesday’s proceedings, Jordan adopted his statement on oath in which he denied the allegations.
He was represented by Mr Ogwu Onoja, SAN, while some documents were tendered through him.
When he was cross-examined by Dantani, Jordan denied knowledge of the allegations and documents put to him by counsel.
Dantani later asked the court to direct Jordan to write his full name and signature five times each on a plain sheet of paper.
The request was not opposed by the defence and was granted by the court.
Asked where he was on Sept. 26, 2025, Jordan told the court that he was outside Nigeria.
Counsel then asked him which international passport he used to travel.
Jordan responded that he travelled with his American international passport and said he could produce it if required.
Sequel to the response, Dantani applied for an order compelling Jordan to produce the passport in court.
Justice Oriji granted the application and directed the defendant to produce the document.
The court adjourned the matter to Wednesday for continuation of hearing.
