Ignorance is not bliss o.

The retired Naval Officer ought, under the circumstances, to have engaged the civil police, if he suspected likelihood of arson or criminal trespass.

Emeraldkeko:
And yet they have serving officers as aide even after retiring.... Una go just open mouth dey talk nonsense with boldness....Do you know what the rank of a Vice admiral is in the Nigeria navy or any navy in the world?

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

press9jatv:

I am just telling you how it works. He will, as a Rtd CNS, for life, have a detachment protecting him and his assets. Its standard protocol.

obayendo1010:
una dey cap rubbish sha, so an Ex president is more powerful than a seating president?

Kobicove:
To start with why should a senior military officer whether active or retired be using military personnel who should be at their duty post to secure his private property?

Kobicove:
So this is the man who sat down in his house and prevented a serving minister from doing his job?

The government should severely penalise him for that stupid act.

Nigerians who are supporting the actions of that junior officer yesterday are very ignorant

Antoeni:
Wikes son Fights back, vow to deal with the military boy in court .

“My father is not your size, I will handle you “

Allegedly Lol

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.

Svoboda:
You and I know that Tinubu lacks the guts to arrest and prosecute a retired CNS, not now that he's licking the asses of the northern elite for 2027 plus that he should be walking on egg shells with the rumoured coup. He isn't Obj nor PMB that arrested generals and got away with it. Arrest and prosecute him on what grounds sef? Did he invite the drunken master to his property? For the young officer, he's shown great composure and comportment even when faced with the worst possible stench of booze halitosis he'd encounter in his life, and will earn great commendation from his superiors.

If this is true then that's what probably got into his head. Smh.

Please let us leave out his Dad out for now. The old man served and should be accorded his respect.

I am not sure his Dad or any Dad will be really happy to watch his son have a shouting match with a representative of the President.

I will not be surprised if his Dad is already reaching out to people to intervene. His father may not like the fact that it was even his own son the retired Senior Officer sent on such non-core military task that doesn't count for promotion.

That's not fame but notoriety that can lead to his being dismissed from the armed forces or posted to one obscure place where he will prefer to quit than to take such posting. If he's in Sambisa or our embassy in Polynesia, will he have time for land matters? No nah.

sogodihno:
You really think Tinubu lick ass? It is obvious you are a kid, Tinubu that was blasting a sitting president that is a general even as an ordinary civilian? You know nothing

Salewa97:
Wike should be allowed to do his work without unnecessary distractions.

Those who are interested in the land grabbed issue should take it to court.

Na court go eventually decide who get the land.

SuperEagles:
Everybody will not be coward like Ojukwu.
After the coup do you know how many serving Northern military top personal as been sacked.

Na why Yorubas preferred Tinubu to Osinbajo. One as balls one do not.

Fiscus105:
Tinubu will call Wike and warns (not tell o) to leave that land and let peace reigns.

FOR BURATAI TO PUT HIS MOUTH PUBLICLY, ITS A SIGNAL FOR TINUBU GOVT, NOT EVEN WHEN RUMOURS OF COUP MONGERING IS NOT YET SUBSIDE.

the blood of military personnel will be boiling now and if Tinubu himself not careful, his days his numbering.

It's not all battles you confront, but for stupid FCT man, he must fight all fights

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh.

It's obvious that you have not had case in court before or got involved in land matters litigation.

That is bad PR to the retired officer. He could actually land in bigger problems ,even arrested and prosecuted.

The Minister represents the President. If he takes on the Minister then he is taking on the President and that's bad for him.

Interestingly, the retired officer wouldn't send his own son on such errand and when he was a young officer, he wasn't having a shouting match publicly with constituted authorities or behaving the way the young officer behaved to the Minister. If he was behaving like that he would not get to the pinnacle of his career.

FG will investigate the appropriateness or otherwise of a serving or retired senior military officer to give order to a junior officer to restrain a Minister on his lawful duty from performing his duty.
That will be visited to ensure that such disgraceful scene never happens again.

That Junior Officer should have known the limits of his discretion and just kept quiet after saying he was obeying order which has now turned out to be an order given by a retired military officer.

So if tomorrow, retired or serving officers tell him to slap a government official, he will do it niyen.

It was the President he was challenging by placing the 'order ' above the authority of the president delegated to the Minister.

Whatever incentive he got or was promised by the retired Senior Officer for him to behave in that manner must be investigated too. Haba!

It is completely unacceptable that the Minister was prevented from performing his lawful duty by a junior officer acting on the order of a retired military officer. Everyone including the junior officer and the retired Senior naval officer should by now have been rounded up and quizzed if it's not already done.

That video is a very sad event that embarrasses the President and the nation.
