“We Will Not Stop” — Sowore Alleges Wike Diverted $300 Million Meant for Ogoniland to Build “HyperCity” Supermarkets

Veteran activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore has accused Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike of diverting $300 million intended for the remediation and development of Ogoniland into private commercial projects, including the construction of a chain of supermarkets in Port Harcourt branded “HyperCity Supermarkets.”

In a post on his X handle, Sowore claimed the alleged diversion was documented in a report presented by an Ogoni delegation to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, just days ago. He described the act as part of a broader pattern of “unprecedented looting, killings, and destruction” allegedly perpetrated by the minister and vowed to continue pushing for accountability.

“The revelation is that thieving Nyesom Ezenwo Wike diverted $300 million earmarked for Ogoniland’s remediation and development. Reports indicate that Wike funneled the funds into constructing HyperCity Supermarkets in Port Harcourt,” Sowore said.

He added: “We will not stop until Wike is brought to justice or justice is brought to him for the unprecedented looting, killings, and destruction he has wrought on Nigerians across board.”

The activist’s post has reignited calls from civil society groups and Ogoni leaders for a full investigation into how funds earmarked for Ogoniland’s recovery were managed.
