Sorry but we are no longer under a military dictatorship. In a democracy, the military is subjected to civilian control.

Nobody has the power to deploy soldiers for an internal operation without the approval of Mr. President. So, it is illegal to deploy soldiers to go and be protecting a private land of a retired soldier.

Again, it is illegal for anybody to obstruct FCT officials from carrying out their legitimate duties. If we allow just anybody to use access to military boys to stop government officials from doing their jobs, then we are creating a banana republic.

Finally, all lands in the FCT are vested in the Minister of the FCT. He has the power to allocate and cancel the allocation. If the former CNS is dissatisfied with the decision of the FCT minister, he should approach the court and not resort to self help. Obstructing FCT officials including preventing the minister from accessing the land in such a rude and unprofessional manner is unacceptable. Those soldiers should be made to face disciplinary action immediately.

is their salary enough when they neutralise good governance protesters?

They are zombies. They followed an instruction to do so and did it, knowing fully well that they won't be killed for doing it. To face Boko Haram, they knew they will be killed (by Boko Haram) for doing so, so they decided to choose life over death.

You have to be very useless to the Nigerian people as a government for them to be liking and retweeting this.

"This regime in Nigeria sadly put all of its bets on tribalism, so they didn’t bother to attract real thinkers and strategists. They just flooded the corridors of power with lunatic, infantile propagandists who know next to nothing about diplomacy, strategic alignments and reparative communications."

Even if the court gives injunction over the same issue?

See Nigeria is a lawless country at the moment, the politicians like Wike has pocketed the judiciary, evidence in the destruction of PDP by wike cause he doesn't want PDP to fill a candidate against Tinubu come 2027, now the country has turned banana Republic were the mighty ruleth..
We the poor r just spectators, cheering and jeering the Titans...
For now lets continue to watch and clap till there is a remedy.

You can be rest assured that bulldozer will pull down that structure and the former CNS will either go home to cry or go to court. This is a battle he can’t win. El-Rufai as FCT minister ordered the demolition of the house of the headquarters of Ministry of works and even the personal house of the then PDP national chairman. So, who is a former CNS that thinks he’s above the law?

Why didn't he force his way in yesterday? I was expecting that after he spoke to the Chief of Defence Staff, they would order them off the site. If you watch video, you would see that the Lieutenant also spoke to the same person using Wike's phone. Why didn't the soldiers vacate the property after call? Why was it wike who left instead.
I pity bulldozers and demolition team that will be deployed there.

If there was a wrong side in the yesterday's incidence, it definitely has to be Wike.

If you want to fight for him, go to the said site and slap the soldiers on guard there.

You're comparing former Housing minister and PDP chairman to a 3 star General 🌟 🌟 🌟. Maybe you'll find out eventually.

Did you even watch the video? did you not hear the naval officer telling Wike the land was gotten legally? You are even so ignorant to think the military has ever and will never be under subject to civilian control. Just be thankful the military decided not to topple power from your corrupt politicians that have made the lives of Nigerians miserable. The military Dictatorship have by so far been the best leadership and have provided the most development in the history of Nigeria.

You are also too ignorant to know that any insult on the military in uniform is an insult to the commander in chief who happens to be the President...why should I expect you to know this when you have been blinded by senseless politics after wasting years in school?

Wike is the hyper active alaseju. He went there to check the land, he could have used the courts to send letters to the Vice Admiral, whether retired or not, a General is a general and serving officers still obey their command... They are trained to respect and obey the last command by their superiors. I'm sure if na police opposing him, he would have slapped the person

Wike is the one at fault thinking he can continue the harassment and bulldog mentality to confront a senior military man. He likes roforofo fight and soldiers don't like to be intimidated in their uniforms. If it was another person, he for don collect slap, beating or bullet. Respect uniform oh, they're under authority. The land don enter Wike eye, if not, he could have sent people to find out who owned the property, call the CDS like he did without even showing face there.

Next time he will apply sense.

I bet you can't prove any land grabbing beyond the rhetorics you read somewhere. How people can so shut their mind to logic and superior thinking surprises me. One day , a soldier will take over your family land on the instruction of RETIRED military officer. How can a serving military be taking instruction from a retired officer?? Are we so blind and deaf? The same dingbat that people were praising was so condescending to the police officer. The same behaviour they exhibit when they whip civilians and ask they drink gutter water afterall they are "bloody civilians" . Look past the hatred and call it for what it is.

Is Wike a civilian not taking people land, worse than military? How many military officer has taken over your land?

Go to Abuja and see nonsense your Wike doing up and down.

The land he is Grambling, is he not reallocate them back to his family and cronies?

The Naval officer was wrong on how he executed the illegal order. He should have called the Naval HQ for guidance when the minister showed up. You cant be loyal to a retired CNS at the detriment of current constituted authority.

Although Wike also did not act with decorum. He should have simply called the officer's superiors and reads the riot acts to the officer that obstructing him is indirectly disobeying the c-in-c with consequences and not exchanging words and throwing verbal insults with a junior officer. The officer was just too junior.

Which one be illegal order?

Go to any house of ex chiefs, they have military men guarding the house 24/7, is that illegal?
The said property allegedly was duly allocated years ago legitimately, the onus lie on the fcda to tell us who the real allottees are if at all the said land was allocated or not, and they should also show us if the said land has never been allocated to anyone before.
We know how these FCT ministers operate, revoking choice lands and allocating same to their friends n families...
Do know so many people the fct demons have rendered homeless due to this evil acts by greedy politicians?

Wike cant disrespect an officer in his uniform like that because that uniform represent Nigeria and Wike can't be that disrespectful calling Officer a fool, idiot and so on, it's wrong.

Preventing FCT officials from demolishing a property without a valid court order is very correct and a commendable action. It is illegal for an FCT Minister to revoke a land and then reallocate the land to another individual, the law clearly stated that the government can only revoke and reallocate a land when the land is to be used for public interest like building schools, hospitals and others. Do you know two bulldozers were there yesterday ? Do you know that the issue has been lingering for long and the FCT minister has refused to approach the court ? We should not allow our political affiliations influence our sense of reasoning.

Resorting to illegal self help is not how to protect yourself. You protect yourself using legal avenues. The land in question will be revoked and there is absolutely nothing the former CNS will do about it.

You are just here running mouth and foaming everywhere. When you retire ceremoniously as a Chief of Naval staff, you retain things like you service rifle, all your service uniforms. In addition, officers of different ranks are assigned to you to protect you, your families and your properties for the rest of your life. Those soldiers you saw in the video were doing a legal duty as long as they are attached to the former CNS.

Some things are just above you. No federal minister can order or command a soldier on legal duty or military in general aside the one who gave the first order, or a higher rank officer than the one who gave the first order, or the President who is the C in C. Even the Vice president of the country would not have been able to order the soldiers out of that property yesterday if he had gone there himself.

No reasonable person will defend Wike's habitually unguarded utterances. He is obviously uncouth and does not know what decorum is. However, the facts of this case are not yet fully available and it would be wise to wait until all the info comes out.

Having said that, the problem here with your post is that once again, we are back to this business of unearned 'respect' where Nigerian military personnel are concerned. undecided

Respect isn't automatic. It isn't forced. It isn't decreed into existence. It is earned.

It is safe to presume that you are female. I can assure you that these people are not your friends and they will dehumanize and brutalize you if they think they can get away with it. Take a look at this link - it happened a long, long time ago but their mentality has not changed. Naval ratings (yes, from the same Nigerian navy) beating and whipping unarmed, defenceless women because they didn't 'clear road' fast enough. undecided

The man in the car with those women spoke up in their defence and the ratings cracked open the side of his head with the butts of their rifles. undecided

And their 'Oga at the top' actually opened his mouth and told the female driver of the vehicle that she was lucky to be alive. undecided
