You are not totally correct. This is a civil matter. A court order from the federal high court will send those soldiers off that land. A lot of Nigerians still have been disoriented with basic civil law due to long years of military rule. Military order only ends in designated military zones and military matters. This is a civil matter between a retired officer ( now a civilian) and an agent of govt. The military has no business here

This will help... I answered your question already here.
So a former CNS does not have any business to position his men on his land?

It is obvious that you didn't read it.

Here's a quote to help you fill your blanks.

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

We know those enemies of Nigeria who were mocking HE Wike.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose.

The land in questions is legally gotten why can't the dishonorable minister sue if he feels like the documents are illegal is it the job of the minister to enforce any illegal documentation.

The minister doesn't need to sue he can revoke it.

You want my attention, now you will get it.

Listen and listen attentively, the powers of the C-in-C is not transferrable. Every Minister has administrative and policy control over his/her Ministry, but not operational control. Even the Vice President of Nigeria cannot order that soldier to stand down. Should I repeat myself?

When Jonathan was Acting President, he could not even fire the COAS because whilst you have policy control, the powers of the C-in-C is not transferrable, it vests only and only with the Commander-in-Chief. You can never have 2 C-in-Cs at any time. You dodged the thread where a CSP refused to obey Sanwo-Olu's order, I didn't see you there. You know why? He said he was under orders from the IGP.

Go and read the Armed Forces Act, only the CDS or CNS acting under the instruction of the President can order Lt. Yerima to stand down and they didn't.... You reason the matter yourself, how a CDS decided to ignore. This is because he will have to investigate a lot of things.

Even the Minister of Defence cannot order that soldier to stand down except from the orders of the President. We are talking about the operational control and command of the Army you are talking about a man who disgraced himself. Do you know how proud Lt Yerima's brass are proud of him? If Wike likes, he can go there a million times, he won't be allowed past that spot unless the President so orders ...any other question?

The power of a Minister of FCT has nothing to do with CIC powers which are military
Your response is a diversion

The specific powers here are the civilian powers exercised by governors in the states with respect to the Land Use Act

The President exercises such powers in the FCT through his deputy that is the FCT Minister

Note all Ministers act as deputies of the president

When you say they Don't have operational control
You don't know what you are talking about
Just dropping words to sound intelligent
You fail miserably

What does operational control mean?

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.

This is completely misleading! Wike ought to have dealt with the matter at the Command level of the Navy or the Arned Forces through the CDS or even the ONSA. The order given to that Lieutenant to secure that site was not palpably or manifestly illegal. If the young officer had chosen to stand down and proceeded to leave the site, charges like disobedience to lawful order, insurbordination or conduct contrary to service discipline etc would have ensued before a court martial and that could easily end the officer's career. A military personnel given orders by a 3 Star commander to lead armed personnel to secure a site cannot possibly seek legal opinion from the legal department of his service arm before obeying the order. He cannot also ask for the title documents of the property before deciding whether to obey the order or not. So, how was AM Yerima supposed to determine that the order given to him was illegal in these circumstances?
A similar incident occurred at Magodo, Lagos, when a police was asked to leave the estate where he was leading a team of policemen on a mission to protect property, allegedly on the orders of the IG. The policeman refused to obey the Governor. When the governor asked him to call his superiors on the phone to inform them that he had been ordered to leave the estate, the policeman responded by saying he was too small to call his superiors and that the governor should do so himself.

AM Yerima was right to have refused to take orders from Wike which derogated from the orders given to him by his Commander. Wike had a choice to go over and above AM Yerima to sort out the issue but chose his regular route of intimidation instead. Of course, the tactic backfired spectacularly this time around and he doesn't deserve any pity at all. Even Wike himself implied that the only reason he left the place in the end was because the CDS intervened. But it's Instructive to note that the CDS, a 4 Star General, didn't order AM Yerima to leave the site! It can only go to show the lad was right all along and acted professionally. The idea or argument that Lieutenant AM Lawal acted outside the law by refusing to trade the orders of his commanders to those of Wike cannot be right!

When the former Naval chief was retired, he was assigned serving military officers in protecting him and his property, they are to obey his orders and not allow harm come before him or his property, whether the harm is a legal harm or illegal harm.

Yerima was obeying the order of who he was assigned to protect and might not be liable to illegality. He was acting in the best interest of his boss and preventing any 'harm' that wants to befall his boss.

The Defense Headquarters is in support of him and is the one to punish him if it results to that. Will he be punished?

there are stuff I don't like arguing with some people. Wike is there in his capacity as the FCT minister. If Tinubu wants to send someone (civilian) in his capacity as GCFR, he will send his minister of defense

There is nothing to prepare. All these submission of Mr. SAN has no submission. There is a reason why the title President and Commander in Chief are put side by side when a citizen becomes the no1 man of the country. It simply means you can be president and not a commander in chief annd vice versa. It simply reveals that the chain of command is different between the civilian and the military. There are different pyramids.

Neway the long and shot of it all is that the officer has done nothing wrong. Wike is not superior to the officer because down that civilian pyramid, the officer has nothing to do with him as long as he is under uniform. It may now be different when he is out of the uniform but in uniform, the officers line manager right to be pinnacle which is the commander in chief, Wike doesn't even exist and cannot answer to Wike. So all the legal jargon cannot be used to analyze officer. Who Wan take am go military court when the ogas that will court marshal him are the ones that deployed him.

The young officer was clearly disrespectful to the authority of Mr President, exercised through the office of the FCT minister.

It was realy unwise for him to say the land was legaly acquired, he is just a guared on site, he is not the lawyer of the owner of the land, and he is not authorised to hold brief on behalf of the owner. Mind you even if it is true that the land is legally acquired, Wike as the FCT minister have the authority to revoke the allocation of the Land.

Many people supporting the boy, are doing it out of their dislike for the govt in power, plus they cannot separate the office of the FCT minister from the person which in thod instance is Wike.

Wike did not visit the land as a private citizen, he was there as the FCT and has the full authority of the law backing him.

Well said by the senior advocate. It’s good that very knowledgeable lawyers are coming out to quickly attack the ignorant views that a lot of people have shared on the matter.

One of my biggest shock yesterday was reading the opinion of Fergie001 on the matter. I pointed out the exact sections of the constitution that the SAN referenced in this piece in my response to fergie but he quickly disappeared from the thread and failed to respond.

It’s just unfortunate that people can’t put aside their emotions when reacting to issues. How can military officers be deployed to obstruct FCT officials from carrying out their duties? How can soldiers be deployed to protect the personal construction site of a retired officer? How can a soldier block the Minister of FCT from accessing land vested in him by law?

I was shocked too by his position and I conclude it all boiled down to inability to separate emotion from logic .

I didn't press him further because I know legal luminaries will throw more light into the matter as the day go by.

I expect more fireworks in the coming days with references to judgements over similar case

So people who go to Court against a Governor for trying to grab their land, their head is not correct?
That they do it without obeying the law doesn't make it right.

The Land Use Act is clear: the governor can seize land without needing approval from any other authority. Those who feel aggrieved can seek the aid of a court of law, and they may be granted relief. But that does not in any way mean the governor must first obtain the permission of a court to seize land or revoke occupancy. That's not our law.

OSENI v. NIGERIAN ARMY
(2022) LPELR-58815(CA)
The law is and has always been that a junior officer is under a duty to obey an order from his superior officer and if in doing so any wrong results to another person or thing, he would be covered by the defense of obedience to superior order and would therefore, not be liable for such action done in obedience to superior order. Thus, a junior officer who acted in compliance with a superior order would ordinarily not be held liable for any resultant wrong but to render him liable then it must be proved.

²Public figure like Mr. Wike should understand clearly that Patriotic Soldier, a Lieutenant should not be addressed the way he addressed him. There are ways you should address your biological children at home talk less of a grown adult like that in the public.

You haven't responded me ever since. The funny thing is that even you cannot behave the Wike behaved so why endorse that character of his! Stop supporting everything because he works for a Government that is your preferred. You can still oppose a few things they do. Wike has been grabbing lands, you haven't said a thing about it.

You haven't replied the CSO who stopped Sanwo-Olu, that he was taking orders from IGP. Will you also say that CSO needs to be punished? Orders are orders and must be carried out!

There is nothing Wike can do sorry about that, he can approach the Courts or better still be civil or speak to his boss instead of the televised national kasongo yeye he got. I don't like him but maturity also entails to seek information from what you know little about, that is his problem, over-bloated ego, it could have been resolved with phone calls without all that.

You should know that Wike and Zambo the landowner get beef since Rivers state.
My own be say while you and Wike were busy building houses for the judiciary, others were busy building influence in the military.
When push comes to shove and shit hits the fan, the judges or the Supreme court will give an order, we will expect those judges or Supreme court to come and enforce the order because giving an order and enforcing the said order are 2 different things in Nigeria.
After all like Yerima said " if anything happens to you, your family will suffer.

Wike is not the governor of the FCT, please don't misuse words.
FCT has no Governor.
A Minister of agriculture cannot be giving orders to military officers.
The real question you fail to ask yourself is that Wike brought 2 bulldozers, but where is Wike demolition notice? Or is Wike or any State governor not obliged by law to produce a demolition notice before demolition?

Read my first sentence again, Zambo knew that Wike will try to take over his property due to past beef and set up Wike with a very trained and composed officer of the Nigerian Navy to deal with him.
Even the current CNS cannot say he does not know that a whole platoon was attached to that land.

Incase you don't know, Wike should be giving thanksgiving in church because he had a very near death experience yesterday.
When he said officer arrest this man, if either those trigger happy Police or DSS for cock their gun, Wike for dey mortuary.
Yerima swore an oath to lay down his life for Nigeria the reason he was telling that Policeman old enough to be his father that " if anything happens to you, your family will suffer" as a soldier if he dies there, his family is better off than that Policeman.

SmartyPants:
Are you not a lawyer? Does the governor of a state need a court order to revoke even the legally acquired property, much less one he seems illegally acquired? Which law are you relying on here, that says Wike needs a court order to take that land in the name of the State?

Several threads on this Wike-Yerima saga but still no resolution in sight.

This matter should be dealt with in a manner that clarifies rights and responsibilities so that the controversy isn't repeated tomorrow - or next week. But no.

We are not a country of laws and our institutions are dying or already dead. The powers that be will quietly settle this Wike-Yerima saga among themselves...and the problem will reoccur at some point in the future.
