‘You’re A Fool, I Am Not A Fool’ – Navy Keeps Mum As Wike Clash With Naval Officer In Abuja
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike confronted naval personnel in Abuja's Gaduwa District over an alleged land-grabbing incident involving a parcel of land purportedly linked to former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo (retd.). A heated exchange ensued between Wike and a naval officer, identified as AM Yarima, after the minister accused the military of illegally claiming the land without proper documentation. The officer insisted the property was legally acquired, leading to a tense standoff. Wike deemed the military's actions "an act of lawlessness" and questioned their involvement in a civil matter, vowing zero tolerance. The Navy spokesman declined to comment, and the incident contributes to ongoing land disputes and illegal development issues in the FCT.
