WIKE IN HOT SEAT OVER ALLEGED MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR LAND GIFTS TO HIS SONS

A storm is brewing around Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, as a leading civic watchdog, the Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA), raises a red flag over what it calls one of the boldest land grabs in Abuja’s recent history.

In a formal petition to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), HEDA alleges that Wike quietly handed over over 3,800 hectares of premium Abuja land—worth an eye-popping $6.45 billion (₦9.7 trillion)—to his two sons, Jordan and Joaquin, aged 25 and 23 respectively.

The petition claims these prime plots, nestled in fast-developing districts like Wasa, Kwari, and Anagada, were carved out and transferred within a span of just 12 months—raising alarms of cronyism and unchecked political power.

What’s more, some of the corporate entities linked to the land deals were allegedly registered shortly before the allocations, further deepening suspicion.

“This isn’t just about land,” HEDA insists. “It’s about public trust, accountability, and the potential hijacking of national assets for personal gain.”

The group argues that such acts, if proven, could violate Nigeria’s public service ethics and send the wrong signal in a country battling corruption on multiple fronts. The sheer volume and value of the land, they say, are unprecedented for allocations to private individuals—let alone family members of a serving minister.

While the public continues to react with shock and anger—especially across social media—Wike himself has remained silent. However, insiders at the FCT Ministry suggest a formal response is in the works and will defend the legality of the allocations.
