A United Kingdom–based digital forensics investigator, Henry Omorere, has petitioned the Florida Attorney General, Hon. James Uthmeier, according to a report by SaharaReporters, seeking updates on allegations that Nigeria’s FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and his family used laundered funds to acquire properties in the United States.
In a letter dated September 21, 2025, Omorere alleged that Wike, whose official earnings are modest, used his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzette Nyesom-Wike, and their three children as fronts to purchase luxury real estate in Winter Springs, Florida.
The petition listed three properties: a $2 million mansion bought in March 2025, a $459,157 home transferred to Wike’s son in 2021, and another $465,000 property transferred to his daughter in 2023. Omorere claimed the purchases were deliberately structured as all-cash transactions under quitclaim deeds signed by Mrs. Wike to conceal the minister’s name.

He described the pattern as a violation of Nigeria’s asset declaration laws and a potential first-degree felony under Florida statutes, as well as a breach of U.S. money laundering laws.
The petition also cited activist Omoyele Sowore, who earlier wrote to Florida authorities accusing Wike of laundering stolen funds through U.S. real estate. Omorere requested confirmation that Sowore’s petition had been received and pressed for updates on whether investigations were active, referred to agencies such as the FBI or IRS, or closed.
Omorere further asked for disclosure of intermediaries (lawyers, banks, real estate agents, or shell companies) who may have facilitated the deals.
He stressed that the matter holds global public interest, pointing to past U.S.-Nigeria cooperation in asset recovery. “The U.S. must not be a safe haven for the proceeds of corruption,” he wrote.
