Nigerian activist and politician, Mr. Omoyele Sowore isn’t letting the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike get a respite over allegations of involvement in crimes.
Wike had incurred Sowore’s invective when he threw a jibe at the activist over the disputed tweet Sowore made on his X handle about President Bola Tinubu.
In response to Wike, Sowore had inundated the social media space with weighty allegations of crimes and money laundering.
In one or them, he displayed documents and photos of three buildings he alleged that Wike bought for his three children in Florida, USA.
Sowore claimed that Wike procured the property worth millions of dollars with laundered money from the coffers of Rivers State and used his wife’s name to acquire them.
Wike’s wife is a public servant also, a Court of Appeal justice.
In his latest follow up to earlier allegations and tirades, Sowore posted on his Facebook page that: “Nyesom Wike must be held accountable under U.S. law if he follows (sic) Tinubu to the UN General Assembly in New York.
If Nyesom Ezenwo Wike – CON, GSSRS follows Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the United Nations General Assembly, he must be arrested to face Florida’s money laundering charges as well as federal indictments for money laundering and asset trafficking.
His money laundering schemes would fall under the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, a program of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) designed to combat corruption by foreign public officials, recover the proceeds of foreign bribery and theft laundered into or through the United States, and return stolen assets to the citizens of the countries from which they were taken.
Wike’s Florida mansions, hidden under his wife’s Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike and children’s names, are textbook examples of laundering proceeds of crime. These properties should be seized, and Wike himself should face indictment under both Florida’s anti-money laundering statutes and U.S. federal law.”
