A United Kingdom-based forensics investigator has petitioned the Florida Attorney General over alleged suspicious property deals linked to Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, and his family.
The petitioner, Henry Omorere, a digital forensics specialist from Teesside University, submitted the petition on September 21, 2025.
He demanded information and updates on possible money laundering, public corruption, and other violations tied to Wike, his wife Justice Eberechi Suzette Nyesom-Wike, and their three children Jordan, Joaquin, and Jazmyne.
In the letter addressed to Florida Attorney General Hon. James Uthmeier, with copies sent to the Florida Supreme Court and the Public Information Office, Omorere described the allegations as “a matter of significant public interest and potential serious criminal violations.”
He cited reports by SaharaReporters, BusinessDay, Peoples Gazette, and statements from Nigerian activist Omoyele Sowore.
Omorere alleged that Wike, a public official earning about $5,000 annually, used his wife and children to purchase millions of dollars’ worth of real estate in Winter Springs, Florida.
Three properties were listed in the petition.
They include a $2 million mansion at 113 Spring Creek Lane, purchased in March 2025; a property at 209 Hertherwood Court, bought in July 2021 for $459,157 and later transferred to his son, Joaquin; and 208 Hertherwood Court, purchased in September 2023 for $465,000 and transferred to his daughter, Jazmyne.
Omorere alleged that the deals were carried out through opaque all-cash transactions and quitclaim deeds executed by Mrs. Nyesom-Wike, deliberately omitting the minister’s name to avoid scrutiny and breach Nigerian asset disclosure laws.
He argued that the pattern amounted to first-degree felonies under Florida law and violated the U.S. Money Laundering Control Act.
The petition also noted that Sowore had previously petitioned the Florida Attorney General in late September 2025 regarding the same allegations.
Omorere requested written confirmation that Sowore’s petition was received, as well as an update on whether the case is under investigation, referred to agencies like the FBI or IRS, or closed.
Omorere demanded details of intermediaries that may have facilitated the purchases.
He specifically sought information about law firms, closing attorneys, real estate agents, brokers, financial institutions, and any shell companies or LLCs involved in the transactions.
Highlighting the significance of the petition, Omorere recalled past U.S.-Nigeria collaborations in recovering stolen assets, such as the return of $52.88 million to Nigeria.
He argued that this case provided another chance to prove that the U.S. financial system would not serve as a safe haven for proceeds of foreign corruption.
Signing the letter as “a concerned global citizen and an advocate for transparency and the rule of law,” Omorere stressed the importance of accountability and international cooperation in fighting corruption.
