The Publisher of Sahara Reporters, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, has launched a bare-knuckle, no holds barred attack against the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Mr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
Mr. Sowore dug deep and discovered three different properties in the US belonging to Mr. Wike.
How it all started
Trouble started when the Federal Capital Territory Minister used some strong words for Sowore after the latter called President Bola Tinubu a “criminal” on social media.
Reacting to Sowore’s comments, Wike expressed disappointment over Sowore’s derogatory comments about President Tinubu.
He stated that Sowore is “lucky” to have a president like Tinubu who believes in the rule of law.
He said, by implication that things might be different under another leader.
Addressing Sowore, Wike warned him that he might not be so “lucky” with a different president, emphasizing the importance of respecting leadership.
Additionally, the Department of State Services (DSS) filed charges against Sowore for defamation after he made the remarks about Tinubu.
According to observers, Wike was the first to threw stone at Sowore.
Now Sowore have gone to the archives and brought out Wike’s secrets to broad daylight.
The first was the three different properties in the United States that he discovered and alerted the authorities.
Two of the properties were hidden in the name of his wife, Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, who also serves as a Court of Appeal judge in Nigeria.
See pictures of the properties below:
One of the three properties was in the name of his daughter, Jasmyne Nyesom-Wike.
See below:
Respecting the said properties, Sowore stated on his “X” handle, @YeleSowore, that there may be more properties.
He also stated that he had already contacted the Office of the Attorney General of Florida, James Uthmeier to notify them of the development.
He claimed that Wike laundered stolen funds (proceeds of crime) to purchase and traffic properties in their state, which are first-class felonies.
He wrote:
“It turns out that international thief Nyesom Wike has three different properties in Winter Springs, Florida. All of them were hidden under the name of his wife, Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, who also serves as a Court of Appeal judge in Nigeria, and shared out to his children.
“There may be even more properties, but we are making progress. We have already contacted the Office of the Attorney General of Florida, James Uthmeier, @AGJamesUthmeier, to notify them that Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, @GovWike, has laundered stolen funds (proceeds of crime) to purchase and traffic properties in their state, which are first-class felonies.”
Not satisfied with his achievements, Sowore also release an audio file between two people he claimed was Wike and someone else.
In the recorded voice conversation, “Wike” was quoted as threatening to kill some officials of the Independent national Electoral Commission (INEC).
It could be recalled that some INEC officials were either killed or maimed in Rivers State during the 2023 election.
Majority of the officials were Youth Corpers who came to conduct the election in the state while Wike was the governor.
Some analysts alleged that those were some of his efforts to rig election for Tinubu in Rivers State.

Wike’s media aide, Mr. Lere Olayinka could not be reached for his reaction to the allegations as his phone was not reachable.
