Wike’s U.S. Property Laundering Exposed: Sowore Uncovers Florida Real Estate Transfers to Wife and Children
A new exposé by activist Omoyele Sowore has revealed a sprawling real estate laundering scheme involving Nigeria’s Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzette Wike, a serving Court of Appeal judge. Documents obtained from Florida public records show that the couple transferred multiple U.S. properties—worth millions of dollars—into the names of their children between 2021 and 2023, using Quit Claim Deeds, a legal method often exploited to quietly conceal property ownership.
Sowore, sharing the documents publicly, accused Wike of using his political office to launder funds into U.S. real estate. The properties, located in Seminole County, Florida, were transferred to their children Jordan, Joaquin, and Jazmyne Wike, with one of the deeds executed just days after Wike assumed office as FCT Minister in August 2023.
The activist further alleged that the minister's denial of U.S. property ownership during a recent TV interview was a calculated lie, as he had directly signed the deeds. Sowore also linked these transfers to broader patterns of corruption, including Wike’s alleged abuse of office to allocate over 2,000 hectares of prime Abuja land to his son, bypassing due process and payments.
In addition, a prior report by Peoples Gazette revealed that Wike secretly acquired a $2 million mansion in Florida under the names of his wife and children, raising serious questions about his declared income and sources of wealth. The house, located at 113 Spring Creek Lane, Winter Springs, is also linked to earlier property transfers.
Sowore has since petitioned U.S. authorities, alleging money laundering, asset concealment, and trafficking in stolen public funds, urging investigation under the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative.
Justice Eberechi Wike’s U.S. Democratic Party membership was also flagged, as it violates Nigeria’s Judicial Code of Conduct, which forbids judges from holding partisan affiliations.
Wike, Nigeria’s former Rivers State governor and now a key minister under President Bola Tinubu, has repeatedly denied all allegations.
