Nyesom Wike has again allocated a land 1,740 hectares of land to his 25-year-old first son Jordan Wike.
This development is coming some days after Wike allocated 2,082 hectares of land to his younger son Joaquin.
Documents reviewed by newsmen showed Mr Wike, who recently completed his master’s degree in law at a UK college, as the beneficiary of at least 1,740 hectares of land worth $2.85 billion allocated over the past year, including pricey lands his minister father Nyesom Wike abruptly confiscated from original owners under his arcane pretext of non-compliance with land use regulations.
Jordan Wike’s illicit land acquisitions are part of his father’s expansive land-grabbing scheme that The Gazette recently uncovered.
The first story from a trove of approval records our reporters obtained from the minister’s office was published nearby last week, detailing how Jordan’s younger brother, 23-year-old Joaquin Wike, was awarded at least 2,082 hectares worth $3.6 billion between October 2024 and May 2025.
Between his two sons, Mr Wike has now allocated no less than 3,822 hectares across the FCT, potentially worth $6.45 billion, according to town planning officials who ran the estimates for The Gazette.
The officials used the prevailing values of the grants at their respective locations without tacking on the mandatory premium for possession of certificates of occupancy for all the assets. With certificates of occupancy factored in, the lands would be worth significantly more, the officials said.
Despite the evidence, Mr Wike denied stealing land for his children, saying through a spokesman that it was only coincidental that Jordan and Joaquin Wike were on the asset documents.
