Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has declared that no law prevents him from owning a house in the United States.

Wike made the assertion in response to claims by activist, Omoyele Sowore.

Speaking during his monthly media chat on Monday in Abuja, the minister cautioned Sowore against peddling rumours against government officials.

He said: “Sowore comes and sells all kinds of stories to you. Up till now why hasn’t he talked about the houses he claims I have in Florida?

“Where is it till today? Those are the kind of people you say are human rights activists.

“You can’t begin to peddle rumours against government officials, it’s not correct. There is no law that says I shouldn’t own a house anywhere. However, I don’t have a house there.”
