In a dramatic twist, Wike reportedly called the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) in the middle of the confrontation and handed the phone to the officer involved. The shocking moment left many stunned, sparking debates online about power, protocol, and respect among government officials and security agencies.
Watch the full video to see how the situation unfolded — and how the officer reacted after the call.

Stop this cheap skit nonsense.
At your age, you should be concerned about the constitutionality and legality of the actions taken and not such cheap click bait
FreeStuffsNG: 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.
Patriotic Nigerians have started talking.
The least FG and the Military authorities can do right now is to immediately suspend him while preparing for his arraignment.
it is a shame that a big platform like Nairaland has a vast majority supporting the military man who by his very own rule is at fault.
I didn't need to read this to know the county is finished.
I don't like Wike.
But everyone is emotional including the diminutive Rufai Useni who should know better.
Same way we support tribal politics just because it's your tribes men , it's same way they are supporting this undisciplined military officer who is a threat to democracy and constitutionality.
The amount of ignorance in Nigeria needs divine intervention
What is a military man doing in a private property doing self-help instead of following due process?
And how were his men in line when they were almost fighting.
Backyard presenter. The same diminutive Rufai with selective remembrance has forgotten how he insulted police officers doing their legitimate jobs same way this aboki military is impending government officials from doing their own jobs too.
Saltinny: Why do you sound so pained? is it because your lord and savior Wike was humiliated by this young soldier?
I just asked a simple question and you responded with exactly how you feel but try to pass it on to me. That's so effeminate.
But here's a fact, I'm no fan of Wike. I'm a fan of the law which you're ignorant of.
Secondly, the officer humiliated himself to be abused in full uniform by a so-called civilan and be told to keep quiet and be called a fool in the full glory of his uniform in public.
Kalulu44: But at the end it will come out to be true
How many freeloaders are here on Nairaland? I mean the dumb ones with free data, laptops or mobile phones who are paid to react to subjects more advanced than their education and exposure?
floss: Same way they reported the coup and you were denying until your nyash was opened and you kept quiet…na d same work me and you Dey do no vex, we’ll keep on defending our salary
If you've never worked in a structured, formal and organised place before, just shut up and learn when your betters are speaking.
With the free data and laptop you're provided with, here's your real opportunity to better yourself.
SR has a reputation, every Nigerian knows this. That letter is unsigned. That's fact. And if you operate by fact, you wouldn't be here arguing for less than minimum wage.
Osebanjo: Intimidated how bro? It was you actually looking to intimidate the military guys. No matter what, you were not supposed to start an unnecessary argument with an officer just following order. Afterall you are not the c-in-c you are just an appointed mayor of the city. You are doing your duty fine but at least you sabi the drill na.
where in your education were you taught that army are only under the c-in-c and should not be questioned by civilian authorities?
When army breaks BRT lane in Lagos, did fadhola not arrest him?
conquered slaves will always be subjugated without knowing the law and what their rights are
Seun you need to address your third world standard censorship that seems to repress ideologies you and your leftwing sponsors don't like , even when nobody here is being insulted, you still employ your weak Ugandan bot from Kamala Harris to censor free expression devoid of any insult....
Back to the topic above....I haven't seen Sammy or Daniels rebuff these allegations for over a week now. But I know Sammy is a latching Ogor and I watched Daniels video recently and she's unstable.
