Professor of Law, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and renowned author shares his opinion on the confrontation between Nyesom Wike and Lt. Yerima
___________________________________________

OFFICER YERIMA BREACHED THE LAW IN THAT FACEOFF WITH NYESOM WIKE

Brushing sentiments aside, I hereby condemn in totality the actions of the Naval Officer, A.M. Yerima, who obstructed the FCT Minister from gaining access into that parcel of land, under the guise of ‘obeying superior orders.’ The duty of a junior officer to obey the orders of his superiors, even though strongly upheld in military and paramilitary circles, has its own limitations recognised by no other authority but the Supreme Court of Nigeria. I shall establish this anon.

In the recent case of Onunze vs. State (2023) 8 NWLR (Pt. 1885) 61 at 108 SC, the Supreme Court held emphatically, per Ogunwunmiju, JSC, thus:

“My Lords, the obligation to obey the orders of a superior does not include orders that are palpably illegal or manifestly unjust. Every military or police officer swears an oath upon commissioning. The Oath is not to obey all orders, it is to “preserve”, “protect” and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria against all enemies, foreign and domestic. When an officer obeys palpably illegal orders, they become personally liable for their actions and would be expected to face court martial or official sanction for the wrongdoing.”

In the earlier decision of Nigeria Air Force vs. James (2002) 18 NWLR (Pt. 798) 295 at 324 SC, Onu, JSC, delivering the lead judgment of the Supreme Court, held firmly, subjugating military personnel to civilian authority and disparaging obedience to illegal orders, as follows:

“See the case of Pius Nwaogu v. The State (1972) 1 All NLR 149 where it was held, inter alia, that "a soldier is responsible to Military and Civil Law and it is monstrous to suppose that a soldier could be protected when the order is grossly and manifestly illegal. Of course, there is the other proposition that a soldier is only bound to obey lawful orders and is responsible if he obeys an order not strictly lawful.’"

The illegality in that order stems primarily from the fact that no service law of the military permits a serving military officer to mount guard at the private construction site of his boss, especially under suspicious circumstances like this. The retired Naval Officer ought, under the circumstances, to have engaged the civil police, if he suspected likelihood of arson or criminal trespass.

Additionally, Barr. Nyesom Wike is the equivalent of Governor of a State – he being the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. More importantly, all lands in the FCT Abuja, by section 297(2) of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, 1999 as amended, belong to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. By section 302 of the same Constitution, read together with other extant Acts of the National Assembly, the President of Nigeria has delegated all powers with respect to land administration in the FCT Abuja to the Hon. Minister. Going by constitutional and administrative law, therefore, Mr. Wike stood in loco the President of Nigeria and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces on that fateful day. Consequently, even if the superior officer were still in service, he would not disobey Mr. Wike or obstruct him from entering the land. This was an affront to the civil authority of Mr. President.

The Minister’s method may be brash; but it is legal and lawful in all respects. Rather, it is the officer who obstructed him that has breached not just the Nigerian Constitution, but also service and extant regulatory laws. For the avoidance of any doubt, section 114 of the Armed Forces Act makes military personnel criminally liable for civil offences. This means the officer in question could be arraigned before a Court Martial for obstructing a public officer from performing his public duties, et cetera.

In conclusion, celebrating the humiliation of Nyesom Wike, simply because he is a ‘big man’ or simply because he is not liked by certain persons begs the real issue here. If such intolerable conduct by the young officer is not punished or is celebrated, this may unleash a reign of terror by the men in khaki against hapless civilians – with a grin or boast that ‘we did it to Wike and nothing happened.’ This is not Nigeria of our dream!
I rest my case here.

tete7000:
So he should disregard his duties to obey an errant person? Where is borderlines in that? If Wike has an sense of borderlines and responsibility, he ought to have found out who placed him on duty and directs his rantings to the person, not the person under authority. Many of you have grown and lived too much in chaos to understand how an orderly society ought to work.
So the job of a military officer is now to guard a private property?

Where in the world is that one being done besides Nigeria?

And as to Buratai, when is guarding a private property become a national security issue?

Nigeria has become a joke to the world.

Human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore has condemned the Nigerian military’s involvement in the recent land dispute between personnel stationed at a contested site and officials of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Administration.

Sowore voiced his criticism in a post shared on his official Instagram account on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, reacting to a viral video that captured a tense confrontation between soldiers and FCT officials at the disputed location. The footage, which showed uniformed officers and government representatives arguing near a fenced property, sparked widespread reactions across social media.

In his statement, Sowore accused the military of abandoning its constitutional duty of defending the nation’s borders in favor of private interests. He wrote, “The military’s primary duty is to protect Nigeria’s territorial integrity, yet it is now being used to guard a piece of land allegedly belonging to a senior officer, supposedly under ‘orders.’”

The activist further argued that the situation reflected a deeper issue of corruption and misplaced priorities within governance. According to him, “This incident illustrates how public officials often prioritize the interests of a privileged few over the collective security of the nation, and Minister @Nyesom Ezenwo Wike – CON, GSSRS is no exception.”

Lere Olayinka, the senior special adviser on media to the former governor of Rivers State and FCT minister, Nyesom Wike has disclosed the reasons behind the confrontation between some armed military officers and officials of the FCTA in Abuja. According to the statements which were shared on his official X handle, he pointed out that the former Chief of Naval Staff, Zubairu Gambo sent his men to storm the venue because he was told to stop building.

Says Wike after:

"I have spoken to the Chief of Defence Staff and the Chief of Naval Staff. They assured me that the matter will be resolved. We’re not here to have a shootout with anybody or cause chaos.

“But I will not allow this to happen. The same way we enforce our laws in other areas is the same way it will be done here. Nobody whether a former Chief of Naval Staff or anyone else will be allowed to carry out illegal development on government land,” Wike added.
Politics › Re: Nnamdi Kanu Asks Court To Defer November 20 Judgment In Terrorism Trial by dequir: 9:39pm On Nov 11, 2025
The Kanu case exposed something deeper , just how many Nigerians are ignorant of the law. Too many people argue emotionally, not legally.

The most ignorant batch are the ones parroting his “where is the written law?”

I ask again , does it mean the average Nigerian doesn’t know what the law says, or is Google not available on certain phones?

The law that governs you depends on where you are and the jurisdiction you’re under.

If you’re in America, American law applies. Break the law here, and you’ll face the consequences under U.S. law.

But if you commit a crime against Nigeria, you will be tried under Nigerian law. There’s no escaping it.

What many Nigerians fail to understand is that laws are not universal.

The U.S. Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, or due process do not automatically apply in Nigeria.

Nigerian law governs the Nigerian state.

Offenses against the Nigerian government or society are prosecuted under Nigerian statutes, in Nigerian courts, and punished under Nigerian penalties.

And for those asking “where is the written law?”, here it is:

Under Section 4 of the Nigerian Criminal Code Act, any person who does an act partly in Nigeria and partly elsewhere that constitutes an offense in Nigeria can be tried in Nigeria.

Further reinforced by Section 12(1) of the same Act , if the effects of an offense occur in Nigeria, the Nigerian courts have jurisdiction.

And Section 3 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act (2022) gives Nigeria jurisdiction over terrorism or related offenses committed outside the country if they are directed at or affect Nigeria, her citizens, or her interests.

Now, to correct another ignorant talking point , the law was never repealed. The Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act of 2022 did not abolish or nullify earlier laws; it replaced and strengthened them.

A repeal means the law is removed without replacement. In this case, it was updated and consolidated, meaning all prior offenses committed under the old law remain prosecutable under the new one.

Several terrorists, kidnappers, and bandits have already been tried and sentenced under this same Act. It’s not new, and it’s not selective. The statutes are clear and actively enforced.

There was a reason , the judge asked him to get legal counsel, he was advised severally to open his defense, and also asked him to read his charges. He refused.

Shouting is not defense. It will gas your followers up but it will not do chakam to negate or nullify the law!! Any lawyer worth his billable hours would have told him that. But Eze Onyeagwalam and his followers think he is above the law.

And for those still shouting “Biafra,” here’s a hard fact. Biafra doesn’t exist.

So whether or not you know the law, like the law, or agree with the law is completely immaterial. You are still bound by Nigerian law.

Because that is the only law that exists and governs the territory you live in.

This is why conflating “Western” legal principles with Nigerian law is dangerous.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

If you act against the Nigerian state , whether through speech, actions, or financial dealings , you are under Nigerian jurisdiction and will be held accountable accordingly.

The crime he committed was against Nigeria. The victims of those crimes are Nigerians in the South East of Nigeria!

Nigerians, especially those who live or have lived abroad, must understand this distinction. Where you commit a crime matters, and so does the law of that land.

There is the written law, umu otobo. 🎤

STOP the Bloodshed in this Land. Period.

What are all these silly Debates about, really?

Of what use are Governments that cannot protect their own people?

Of what use are “leaders” who do not value the lives of their people?

Of what humanity are people in power and our society who defend such failures?

Of what Future are a people who allow such evil to become normal in their country while they sit around to “debate” about the mass killings of their fellow countrymen, women and children to determine if it is really “Genocide”?

In 2015, they came for our Chibok daughters and several others, Nigerians sat around debating “Politics” while the parents of the girls cried in anguish pleading to “even be believed that they are not “scam parents”.

Those that believed them, joined their cries, stood in empathy to ask Governments to take constitutionally mandated effective actions for the girls’ rescue.

Our cries and demands fell on deaf ears and hardened hearts.

We cautioned that if Government failed to act decisively against the terrorists by allowing them to go unpunished, the inaction and absence of deterrence would embolden the organized deadly criminals.

What we cautioned against happened and in 2018, same terrorists abducted Dapchi School girls.

As predicted, Kidnappings soon escalated and morphed into an Industry with many families in this country becoming victims of the same losses, griefs and anguish that the ChibokGirls, Leah Sharibu and their parents were left to suffer.

More than 90% of the Chibok Secondary School girls that were abducted were Christians.

I for example did not know this until much later in the demand for their rescue and justice.

Sharibu was punished for being a Christian and not released along with her classmates when Government negotiated their freedom.

Yet, as kidnappings and killings escalated, rather than take responsibility and act effectively, Governments were more interested in unleashing all manner of assaults on innocent citizens who demanded for accountability and results.

I ask again, “Of what use are “leaders” and Governments that cannot protect their own people?”

Stop the silly debates.
Stop defending the indefensible.
Stop the irresponsible deflecting.
Stop the heartless indifference to the sufferings and injustices done to others.

There are no ifs, buts and whataboutism about the mass killings of Nigerians.

Just be human by imagining what it feels like to be in the line of vulnerability that historic, courageous and incredible Reverend Ezekiel and others have been calling all of us to see.

When your fellow humans tell you they are being targeted, learn to listen with human compassion.

The Death and Dearth of Empathy is the basis of some of the horrible definitional debates on “Genocide” that is going on in a Land where hundreds of our fellow citizens are killed daily with impunity.

Even a Lai Mohammed called it Genocide in 2023 when he was Minister of Information. Yes, the same Lai Mohammed that Nigerians know.

The Death and Dearth of Empathy is the basis of some of the horrible definitional debates on “Genocide” that is going on in a Land where hundreds of our fellow citizens are killed daily with impunity.

and Africa buys it back at triple the price, with gratitude. Imagine that!

‎Now Dangote came with a 650,000-barrel-per-day “plot twist.”
‎
‎-The first migraine hit when U.S. fuel export numbers started twitching. West Africa, that loyal customer, suddenly said, “No thanks, we’ll refine it at home.” Imagine selling umbrellas in a desert, that’s how America feels right now in the diesel market.
‎
‎-Then came the second headache, the petrodollar sneeze. If Nigeria starts trading refined products in naira, yuan, or even “AfriPay,” that’s a direct jab at Uncle Sam’s global ATM. The dollar doesn’t like competition; it catches inflation fever when others sneeze independence.
‎
‎-Third pain: The geopolitical thermometer just went up. Africa’s biggest refinery means fewer oil tankers from Texas, and more from Lagos to Lome, under African control. That’s not energy trade; that’s energy freedom. And freedom, apparently, is bad for business.
‎
‎-Fourth dose: The U.S. isn’t happy seeing Nigeria shaking hands with China and India on refinery deals. It’s like watching your ex build a mansion with your rival. The refinery runs on Chinese funding and Indian technology, two things America used to monopolize.
‎
‎-And finally, the fifth and deadliest headache, the symbolism.
‎Dangote didn’t just build a refinery; he built a mirror, showing Africa what it could’ve been decades ago if it stopped outsourcing its future.
‎
‎Now Washington can’t just send “economic advisers” and “development loans” with fancy conditions anymore. Africa might soon say, “Thanks, but we’ve got this.”
‎
‎So Dangote’s refinery isn’t just refining oil, it’s refining pride, power, and perspective.
‎And for the first time, the biggest gas leak in the room isn’t from Nigeria, it’s from America’s nerves.

Greenback:
So much arrogance,pride,ego tripping in Nigeria...these agbado people would rather vote buhari over and over again than voting for obi even if they know obi is good... One of them even said some time ago that the Igbos will laffn at them if an easterner wins!!!! Just imagine.
We they are ready for real change,they know what to do
So Peter Obi is the change that Nigeria needs?

No, no and no.

Soludo is far far more a nationalistic Ibo leader that can rule Nigeria and be successful than Peter Obi.

Those millions started from mere 20 pounds after the war.
They're not asking for your help.
They will then use those 20 pounds again to start new businesses in Igboland and build it to millions. Let us see how easy it would be.

sreamsense:
The first designation was quickly removed by Biden then. Forget about whether bandits kill both christians and Muslims. Bandits re Muslims, no single christian among them. Fulanis herdsmen are Muslims, no single christian among them, many Islamic terrorists operating in Nigeria are Muslims, no single christian among them.

It is Muslims that marry four wives with plenty children in poverty being recruitment feeds for banditry, militant Fullani herdsmen and Islamic terrorists. How can you now expect christians to carry problem you created more than you? Those that are peaceful Muslims are hypocrites, they laugh and justify terrorist killings or burning of churches in the secret, and come with propagandas to defend terrorists in the public.

For how long will christians continue to suffer from the problems islam created for 72 virgins reward? Instead of peaceful Muslim leaders to come together and resolve these problems once and for all, they only keep busy insulting and fighting themselves online for one reason or the other. Christians are not suppose to be the receiver of the problems you created without making attempt to seek solution. Islamic terrorists are not decreasing, but increasing in Nigeria and in the world over. For how long are christians going to fold their hands?

Christian as the most powerful religion on earth, most populous, richest religion and most educated follow after peace with every humanity, offer freedom to every humanity to the extent many Muslims prefer christian countries then Islamic countries. Unfortunately, it is the opposite in Islamic countries with rules and rules to restrict christians.

Christians can't preach, christians can't carry bible, Christians can't be free to worship etc in Islamic countries., yet; soldiers of Allah will still go to their churches and bomb them. Don't come here to mention they kill christians and kill Muslim too. Are christians suppose to be killed at all when they never created the problem in the first place? Religion that creates the problem should be the receiver if they can't proffer solution

See guys

There is something about the man Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

Tinubu and his tribesmen ganged up against him, unleashed their media propaganda and eventually led to his ouster!

Joyfully they took over!

Now ask yourself? In what area have they done better than Jonathan? Name just one! Economy? Security? Infrastructure?

Tinubu called GEJ a failure because of insecurity, Fashola said fixing power is not rocket science etc

These guys have done 500% worse than Jonathan but beyond these, all I see is Karma at work!

The latest statement by Trump is the nail required to nail the coffin and complete the cycle! Tinubu just kissed 2027 goodbye

KARMA IS A RAPIST
"KARMA IS A RAPIST"

And you are supporting a rapist?

He who supports a rapist is a rapist too, because birds of the same feathers fly together.

#Stop the rape!

TheBizGenius:
Finally, someone that has not lost his sanity.

I sometimes wonder about the posts on this platform. You have a mix of international, national and state affairs.

And an unhealthy mix of the very absurd personal issues part sounding like, "I lose my turkey", "My dog get headache", "My leg dey scratch me", "Thieves stole my worn out Okada", "My street babe rang me in the middle of the night" and the now infamous, "We kill one snake for farm".

It's painful as this dilutes the seriousness of the site and limits its impact potential.

Not to talk of limiting its own earning power as all marketing professionals know, "A product that has no clear target market will be priced at half its true worth".
Leave us with our infamous Nairaland, we are enjoying it the way it is.

If you no like it, go to twitter, your peeps dey wait for you there.
