VIDEO: Tension In Abuja As Wike, Military Officer Clash Over Alleged Land Grabbing

On Tuesday, a significant confrontation occurred in Abuja involving the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and an unidentified military officer.
The altercation was centered around an alleged land-grabbing incident in the Gaduwa District.
A video of the incident, which was obtained by our correspondent, captured Wike expressing his frustration with the military officer for reportedly taking possession of a parcel of land.
The minister questioned the rationale behind the military’s claim to the property, particularly since it was associated with a former Chief of Naval Staff.
“Because you are an officer? Nobody does that. The man took land because he was the Chief of Naval Staff?” Wike said.
The officer, dressed in military camouflage, interrupted the minister, insisting that the acquisition was lawful and that he had acted with integrity.
“I am an officer with integrity. Everything was acquired legally,” he replied.
Wike, angered by the interruption, ordered the officer to be quiet.
“I will not shut up,” the officer responded.
The exchange escalated as Wike retorted, “You are a very big fool. As at the time I graduated, you were still in primary school.”
