In August, publicly accessible records cited by West African Weekly indicated that a property at 113 Spring Creek Lane, Winter Springs, Florida, was registered under the names of Wike’s wife, Justice Eberechi Wike, and their three children Joaquin, Jazmyne, and Jordan.
Responding to the claims, Wike maintained that the property belonged to his wife as a gift from her family and denied any personal ownership. He also alleged that journalist Omoyele Sowore was bribed to present the property as his.
In a detailed interview with Channels Television, Wike said, “Sowore was bribed to lie against me. I have no house in America. The property was a gift to my wife from her family. My wife and children are Americans. I don’t even like going to America.”

On Thursday, he posted on X, stating: “The #DrunkenGlutton clearly hasn’t studied the #AssetDeclaration rules.
