Alleged $2.1m Land Deal: Lawyers Bicker Over Case Against Wike's Son
Two senior lawyers have engaged in a verbal duel over an ongoing case involving Jordan Nyesom Wike, son of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mr. Nyesom Wike.
Dr. Ogwu Onoja, SAN, who represents Jordan Nyesom Wike, accused Ibrahim Waru of misrepresenting the facts of the case, which he claimed were widely and wrongly circulated on social media.
Dr. Onoja argued that the admission of Jordan Wike admitting to knowing Safwan Garba GY did not mean that he met with him, as a civil case is different from a criminal case and can be pursued simultaneously.
The case revolves around a disputed $2.1 million land deal in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city. The case was brought to court by Safwan Garba GY and his associates.
Dr. Onoja maintained that the WhatsApp chats between Jordan Wike and Safwan Garba GY were proof of familiarity between the two parties involved in the case.
