Safwan Garba, a businessman and his firm, GY Global Oil & Gas Nigeria Limited, have petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), alleging that Jordan Nyesom-Wike, son of Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), claimed to have his father’s knowledge and approval to facilitate the allocation of 60 hectares of land in Abuja.

In a petition dated December 11, 2025, and signed by their lawyer, Hamza Dantani, the petitioners alleged that Jordan promised to secure 30 hectares each in Katampe and Guzape, assuring them that he routinely facilitated land allocations and had his father’s backing.

They accused Jordan of fraud, obtaining by false pretences, criminal misappropriation and conversion of $2.1 million allegedly paid for the proposed land allocations.
