There are serious indication the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike will not escape arrest and prosecute Nigeria Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Barr.Nyesom Nike
Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has stated that steps are underway to secure an international arrest warrant against Nigeria’s Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and extradite him to the United States for alleged money laundering.
The former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), stated this in a post on his verified X account.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that the convener of #RevolutionNow Movement had accused the FCT Minister of using stolen funds to acquire luxury properties in Florida, U.S., in his children’s names.
Sowore also exposed cases of alleged money laundering involving Wike, his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzette Nyesom-Wike, and their three children: Jordan, Joaquin, and Jazmyne Nyesom-Wike
He wrote, “We hope Nigeria’s FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, won’t escape accountability.
“He has laundered stolen funds to buy mansions for every member of his immediate family in Florida.
“Steps are already in motion toward securing an international warrant that could see Wike arrested and extradited to the U.S. to face money laundering charges sooner than he thinks.”
Sowore was reacting to the U.S. government’s stern warning issued to Nigerian politicians and elites involved in corruption, stressing that its visa restrictions extend to even the most “high-profile” individuals.
The U.S. Mission in Nigeria, in a circular released and shared on X, said the American government will not condone corrupt practices, adding that the act carries international consequences that cannot be shielded by political power or influence at home.
