A UK forensics expert has formally requested the Florida Attorney General investigate alleged money laundering and corruption involving property purchases in Florida attributed to Nigeria’s Minister Nyesom Wike and his family.
A UK-based digital forensics investigator, Henry Omorere of Teesside University, has petitioned the Florida Attorney General over alleged property acquisitions in the United States by Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, his wife Justice Eberechi Suzette Nyesom-Wike, and their three children—Jordan, Joaquin, and Jazmyne.
In a letter dated 21 September 2025 addressed to Hon. James Uthmeier, Omorere claims the case is one of “significant public interest and potential serious criminal violations” that has been widely reported. He alleges that Wike, whose official salary is about US$5,000 a year, used family members to acquire millions of dollars in real estate in Winter Springs, Florida.
Three properties are under scrutiny: a $2 million mansion at 113 Spring Creek Lane (March 2025), 209 Hertherwood Court (July 2021, $459,157) transferred to Joaquin, and 208 Hertherwood Court (September 2023, $465,000) transferred to Jazmyne. Omorere alleges these were bought using opaque all‐cash transactions and quitclaim deeds through Mrs. Wike to omit Mr. Wike’s name and “evade scrutiny.”
The petition calls for confirmation whether the Florida AG’s office has received a petition from activist Omoyele Sowore, an update on investigations, including privy parties and intermediaries, and insists that Florida’s Public Records Law be used to ensure transparency.
