Wike Fires Back: Blames Atiku for ‘Fake Land Allocation’ Claims Involving His Children

Wike Fires Back: Blames Atiku for ‘Fake Land Allocation’ Claims Involving His Children

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of orchestrating recent allegations that he allocated prime plots of land in Abuja to his children.

In a strongly worded statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, the minister dismissed the accusations as “futile blackmail and poorly crafted propaganda.”

Wike’s aide described the claims as part of a sponsored smear campaign, insisting that no land had been allocated to any of the minister’s children.

Taking a veiled jab at Atiku, the statement read:

“Let that fellow from Adamawa State, who is struggling to get at the FCT minister for supporting power rotation between the North and South, put in more effort. Just like the propaganda of last week, this, too, has collapsed before takeoff.”

The statement emphasized that no amount of blackmail will derail Wike’s commitment to President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for the FCT.

Last week, Wike was accused of allocating 2,082 hectares of land in Asokoro and Maitama to one of his sons—a claim the minister’s team says is logically flawed, as no such volume of land exists in those combined districts.

The document cited in the claims was actually an allocation for farming in Bwari Area Council to a company called JOAQ Farms.

This week, the controversy shifted to a company named Jordan Farms and Estates Limited, which some allege is linked to Wike’s son. The minister’s aide clarified that although the minister has a son named Jordan, the company in question has no ties to any of Wike’s children and is not owned or directed by them.

Olayinka challenged accusers to go to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and publish the names of the company’s actual owners.

He added humorously,

“My name is Lere Olayinka, and there’s a Lere Local Government in Kaduna State. Does that mean I own it? Am I even from Kaduna?”

He further questioned:

“There are companies like Jordan Telecommunications, Jordan Foods—are they all owned by Wike’s son? In the UK, there’s even Jordan’s Farms. Does that also belong to him?”

On the allegation involving a signature from one of the minister’s security aides appearing on land documents, the statement argued:

“If I assist a friend or relative in retrieving documents, does that make me the property owner?”

The FCT minister reiterated that all genuine land allocations follow due process and legal verification, and attempts to politicize routine administrative work will continue to fail.

Ajiran Youth Protest Over Deaths of Two Residents, Demand Justice

Ajiran Youth Protest Over Deaths of Two Residents, Demand Justice

 

The Ajiran community of Lagos State erupted in a powerful protest on Tuesday as local youths took to the streets to express their grief and anger over the tragic murders of Prince Ademola Akintoye and Sherrif Agboworin. The demonstration follows the recent decision to reopen the murder case, an investigation that has already led to the arrest of over nine suspects in connection with the heinous crimes committed more than a year ago.

Carrying vibrant banners and poignant posters featuring the faces of the deceased, the protesters marched through the heart of their community while singing somber dirges to honor their memory. With chants of unity and justice ringing in the air, they called on both the Lagos State Government and the Lagos State Police Command to ensure that those responsible are swiftly and decisively brought to justice.

The youth leaders emphasized that peace and normalcy will remain elusive in Ajiran until all those complicit in the killings are held accountable. They articulated that true justice is the only way to restore tranquility and honor the lives of Akintoye and Agboworin, whom they described as innocent victims of a grave injustice.

Speaking on behalf of the demonstrators, youth leader Mr. Kehinde Oladele urged law enforcement to conduct a thorough and fair investigation. He asserted that every individual involved including the nine arrested suspects must face the full extent of the law. Especially Hammed Tajudeen, the principal suspect mentioned by others in custody, whom they believe should not escape scrutiny.

“The reopening of this case after more than a year is a critical first step towards achieving justice and fairness for our brothers,” Oladele said. “We urge the police to get to the root of the matter. Those mentioned during the investigation, especially Hammed Tajudeen, should not be spared.”

The atmosphere in the community grew increasingly tense last week following speculation that prominent businessman Aare Bashir Olawale Fakorede was implicated in the unrest. The speculation appeared to stem from his alleged influence on the reopening of the murder investigation. This misunderstanding escalated when a group of protesters targeted his filling station in Ikate, vandalizing his properties and disrupting business operations in the gas station based on the false assumption that Fakorede was behind the police’s renewed inquiries.

In response to the rising tensions and misinformation, Fakorede’s spokesperson, Ola Muhammed, issued a comprehensive statement denying any connection between Fakorede and the unrest. The spokesperson emphasized that rumors suggesting the businessman orchestrated the revival of the murder case were completely unfounded.

“I feel it is crucial to clarify, for the sake of transparency and historical accuracy, that this entire ordeal is in no way related to me,” Fakorede stated. “I am also very interested to see that the culprits are brought to book. I categorically affirm that I have never been involved in any business dealings with Mr. Hammed Tajudeen.”

Fakorede further elaborated that the recent protests which led to the destruction of his property were reportedly instigated by Tajudeen and others who seem determined to manipulate the narrative and cast suspicion upon him. Fakorede expressed his own strong commitment to uncovering the truth surrounding the deaths.

As the police investigation progresses, it has become increasingly apparent that all accusing fingers are pointing to Hammed Tajudeen who is currently evading capture, adding another layer of complexity and urgency to the ongoing situation. Community members have questioned why he remains at large instead of submitting himself to the police for questioning if he is truly innocent of the allegations against him.

Community leaders are now emphasizing the need for dialogue to address the root causes of the unrest and work toward restoring harmony within Ajiran, even as the demand for justice remains at the forefront of public consciousness.
