I just pray nothing happens to the officer's job.

If it was igbo or southern they will coded retire and arrest him.

But if he is a northern, nothing will be done because BAT wants North support for 2027. Useless country.

Though I commend the officer for holding his integrity.

Antoeni:
The only civilian authority who could lawfully counter-order that officer to allow Wike entry is the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Without routing orders through the military, not even the Ministers of Defence can counter-An Order

Penguin2:
If we were to judge the matter by law and legality, Wike will win.

But this matter is complicated.

Vice Admiral AZ Gambo is senior to the current CDS, General Oluyode, and by that, the CDS cannot go against his orders. This is simple military tradition and precedence.

The only person that can give a counter order to the orders of Vice Admiral Gambo is the Commander-In-Chief, Tinubu, but even Tinubu must be careful because there’s a way he’d handle the matter in favour of the law (Wike) and he would anger the rank and file of the military establishment which will not be good at all.

Remember he just survived a coup.

There’s a reason people like AZ Gambo are left alone to do their thing as far as their actions are not very much against the law or threat to public peace and order.

How much does Wike and FCT ministry want to generate from the General registering for his development levy. It’s a totally unnecessary fracas.

I won’t be surprised if Wike is sacked because of this.

press9jatv:
The former naval chief will win the battle in the court of justice. Wike goof here

otipoju:
No the President is the head of the Armed Forces. He is the commander in chief and all commissioned officers get their commissions from the president.

But the thing is that it is belittling for the office of the president to he intervening on land matters.

Even Wike if he was smart had no business talking to that officer. He wanted to demonstrate power and it backfired badly.

He should be very careful in that Abuja or anywhere he goes. Civilian and military are two different worlds.

They can easily Bleep him up real badly ooo.
Once soldiers start their crase...to hold them na wahalo ooo.

You see say he did not dare lay a hand on the young man. He would not have made it out of there in one piece.

He would be reminded that he is a bloody civilian... then like two lorries will follow him to his office and burn the place down first before anything.

Angry soldiers are not nice ooo. Anywhere in the world. Soldier are like ravenous dogs on a leash.

Death, destruction , havoc and mayhem is what they are trained to manifest.

You see say na Wike dey de-escalate by himself and he recognized that those guys could kill everyone. He kept saying it.

Once the same breaks...its on.

ADO2004:
The president is the commander in chief of the arm forces in Nigeria. Insulting that officer is Insulting the president and the nation.

otipoju:
In a civilized country, the FCT minister will get a court order before he steps foot on another man's property otherwise even a private citizen has the right to shoot him to death.

Now the court order will be executed by court beliefs and not the FCT ministers.

What you saw today was a case of intimidation gone wrong..because the officer told the chief of defense staff that they were not there on illegal duty.

At the point the CDS just comot him hand for the matter.

Only the President could have ordered those men to stand down. Wike is not in the chain of command.

Bro, even if it is a pair of slippers, as long as the order is from a superior officer, he cannot question the order.
That is how powerful they are.

olatunjithomas:
Stop capping rubbish. All these una beer parlour claims

Soldiers are subject to military law, only military authorities (through the Provost Marshal or superior officers) have the direct power to arrest and discipline them for offences, especially those committed in the line of duty.

You even mentioned civilised countries like you have ever left Nigeria. The US Police Department whether state or federal cannot just arrest a soldier in active service without the cooperation of his commanding post. It can only happen if he is caught committing a a civilian crime off duty and without uniform even at that, his commanding post must be alerted immediately for their cooperation. These are contained in military law enforcement such as: U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID), Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI)


Oya make another claim.

olatunjithomas:
Most of your questions were asked out of sheer ignorance, but that's fine. However, the questions are not devoid of sentiments.

For information sake, only the Chief in Command can give order to counter the order given by a most senior officer. Even the vice president cannot try it unless sworn in to take the place of the C in C in a case of his absence. The naval officer was acting under a command, Wike should have contacted the one who gave him the order. He himself cannot order the soldier off that property. Only the one who gave the order in the 1st place, the Chief of staff, or the president can order him out of that property.


Lastly, the loyalty of any soldiers lies with NOT the presidency, but to the service of his country, and the president himself who is the GCON. The Chief in Command role of this position cannot be delegated. Not even to the VP. The FCT minister like other ministers is just an office holder under the president's cabinet. He cannot give or counter a military order.

Antoeni:
The officer did the right thing. He didn’t lose his cool, didn’t disrespect his rank, and didn’t abandon his duty. He simply stood on procedure, "Sir, I am acting on orders. If you have a problem, take it up with my superior." That is exactly how discipline works. The military chain of command is not a toy for politicians.

FG should allow registered Vigilantes of State registered Vigilante groups to Carry AK47’
when they are protecting their Areas

sleek214:
And you guys are the solution of this country.. someone rushed to the authorities in the UK and told lies against this man and because he was poor, you poor lots took side with him.

LibertyRep:
Why is this man so controversial and always on the side of the bandits.

...and he was once in the military.

Something is t adding up.

Ttalk:
Soludo is smarter, more intelligent and more courageous than you.

He has track record as CBN governor and his deliberate work to change the face of Anambra can be seen by everyone.

He has displayed maturity on national issues and his articles and journals on topical national issues serves as reference for governance and in academic forums.

Soludo and Umahi are on the league of their own when it comes to governance while Peter Obi trails far behind Obiano his successor

Edited: It is worrisome to see people comparing a 1st Class graduate of economics with 3rd class Philosophy graduate. Obi's outburst should have been replaced by congratulatory message and not bitter vituperation that exposes his weakness and pettiness.

sleek214:
You're still a child, you don't know anything

Salewa97:
It's a high powered delegation.

They would surely come out with something tangible.

The UK government are also not happy with the way the case was handled. We would surely get the verdict reviewed

EnEnPeecee:
This man should be released abeg. He has suffered enough

If you were a bandit, will you be using a phone registered with your personal details sir?
This guys are smart enough to kidnap deputy speakers of house of Assembly and you think they will be stupid enough to register their phones with their own details.

They are obviously smarter than you.

HacheNoire:
Stupid excuse!

The FGN should convert NYSC to mandatory 2 year military service and let’s flush these terrorists out.

If we get the well educated to the front lines, I believe we will be scoring better and more impactful wins.

I swear. See him acting like a Saint just to deceive gullible people like him. What was his achievement as a 2 term governor and the number of years in the senate. Very anyhow person

ArcSEMPECJ:
PO left APGA because if he had not, you won't have heard about him in the Federal level...

In state level, he would have stayed put in APGA had it been he wanted to go for Senatorial seat.
I guess the way you are loving him and getting ready for him as your President, are you not enjoying it

emkz:
No sensible politician would play politics with national security. There have been tweets by Tinubu where he condemned Jonathan in the past for insecurity. There are also reports that some APC politicians went to report to USA about Jonathan's handling of security.

They were wrong making such a move.

At times like this, everyone would put hands together to work together to end this madness that has bedevilled our nation for decades. We must out country first.

What does this mean?

1. Amnesty and negotiation with bandits and terrorists are not the solution. Doing that gives them the upper hand. So repentant bandits or terrorists must end. Anyone who takes the life of another for any reason that is illegal should legally forfeit his.

2. Security is the responsibility of all. There should be a central reporting system for citizens to report their suspicions.

3. Soldiers should be given the order to take out these people. We can't treat them with kid gloves.

4. Phone calls should be monitored to track planned attacks. Bank accounts should also be monitored. In case of large withdrawals for cash-based logistics, banks should notify authorities for monitoring.

5. President Tinubu, your primary responsibility is security of lives and properties. Fastrack the appointment of forest guards and let them get to work.

ALTERNATEID:
I just watched Mamdani’s victory speech and I was so impressed. He did not just beat Donald Trump’s candidate, he gave Trump a middle finger and called him out for his irresponsible leadership.

Young, bold, articulate and intelligent. He reminds me of the Obama of 2008. Democrats shouid rally round this guy to deal a serious political blow to Donald Trump and his MAGA white supremacist.
