The case, filed by Safwan Garba GY and GY Global Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited, claims that Jordan received $2.1 million in cash to facilitate the acquisition of 60 hectares of land in Abuja.
According to the claimants, they met Jordan in London and later in Abuja, where they asked for his assistance in acquiring land. Jordan allegedly agreed to facilitate the acquisition of 30 hectares of land at Katampe and 30 hectares at Guzape for a fee of $2.1 million. The claimants allege that $2 million was for his father, the FCT Minister, while $100,000 was Jordan's personal fee.
