The part in bold is the point a lot of Nigerians are missing. On what basis should our military be deployed to protect a construction site with a directive to shoot government officials who are on routine monitoring exercise? Are we in a war situation with another country over the property? Is that what we’ve reduced our armed personnel to? Instead of deploying soldiers to fight terrorism and protect the territorial integrity of Nigeria, we now deploy them with the directive to shoot government officials over an illegally acquired land. What a shame.

Like I’ve said before, all the soldiers involved in that illegal operation and show of shame including the person that deployed them to that site should have been arrested by the police and charged to court. I condone impunity far too much in this country and that’s why people get away with a lot of rubbish.

So routine exercises are now done with caterpillars ? Secondly what stops the FCTA from taking the matter to court to seek redress..

Since you know the law, go and arrest the soldiers involved Mr I too know.
I believe there are too many kids on this forum

Hahaha, No be your soldier friends they flex muscle? Make they use koboko wipe people wey come disturb them for the land, even with order to shoot @ sight?

Who wan arrest anybody, their Oga cannot keep the land, unless Nyesom Wike agrees to help him ratify his papers.

So make u go rest with your bad belle, if na u get the land wey the admiral go acquire illegally, na so they for use koboko & intimidation dey oppress u.

Because of your hatred for your tormentor Nyesom Wike, u no fit reason logically?

If video no dey now, these people for say na the soldier gather lock the emperor shirt. All for pay!

Which kind apology is this?

It is like Trump apologising to Ned Nwoko for the behaviour of Regina Daniels.

Sycophancy is an art.

Iamzik:
I will ask you just one question

On what basis are soldiers deployed to pooling stations during elections? Do soldiers have a constitutional role in Nigeria's electoral process?

When abuse of power using is normalized by the political class over the years, politicians lose the moral right to call out the military in situations like this.

This same wike used military men to intimidate voters while was rigging his state election. So how will they respect him? Add that to his brash condescending attitude and you have a perfect combination of reasons why the young soldier stood his ground

Go nd check Wike countenance when the officier said. "i have integrity"

Soldiers in their fickle mentality think say na everyone dey fit oppress because dey be military?

If no be ignorance dey worry them & so many people, dey for know say under the law, section 14 of the Land Use Act stipulates that the occupier shall have exclusive rights to the land the subject of the statutory right of occupancy against all persons other than the Governor, in this case Nyesom Wike as the Minister of The FCT.

Invertedhammer, chidiokay, kilmot & Jmoore, the law states it unambiguously that no one can challenge Wike when it comes to any land in The FCT.

Ignorance is never an excuse in law, The Land Use Act is enshrined in section 315 (5) & (6) of the Constitution of 1999 As Amended, making the provisions of The Land Use Act, Supreme, incontrovertible, (not able to be denied or disputed), and indefeasible, (not been able to be lost, annulled, or overturned).

FCTA Apologises To Wike Over Open Spat With Naval Officer, Insists Disputed Land Is Illegal




https://leadership.ng/fcta-apologises-to-wike-over-open-spat-with-naval-officer-insists-disputed-land-is-illegal/

The so-called Admiral can never and will never develop that particular piece of land...max, the presidency will allocate land to him somewhere else as compensation

Honestly and plain speaking, Many Nigerians are part of the world's most gullible people. We did not get here in the day the confrontation happened.

When Abacha, the most ruthless butcher of all time, worse than Idi Amin, took power; some Nigerians were celebrating. So tey, they begged him to become civilian President. Yeah For Abacha!

Yet, the worst calamity that befell Africa after colonialism is military rule. Each time they took over Nigerians cheered them on. These are supposed to be the most educated Africans, developing other countries BUT NOT their own.

Thank you very much, I beg help me educate crownofgold, kilmot, Invertedhammer, chidiokay, Jmoore & Co.

Presidency cannot even allocate land to him under the Land Use Act, na still this same Nyesom Wike that has the exclusive jurisdiction under Nigerian law.

Section 5 of The Land Use Act, it shall be lawful for the Governor, in this instance the FCT minister in respect of land, whether or not in an urban area:-

to grant statutory rights of occupancy to any person for all purposes; to grant easements appurtenant to statutory rights occupancy; to demand rental for any such land granted to any person.

to revise the said rental -
(i) at such intervals as may be specified in the certificate
of occupancy; or
(ii) where no intervals are specified in the certificate or
occupancy at any time during the term of the statutory
rights of occupancy;

to impose a penal rent for a breach of any covenant in a
certificate of occupancy requiring the holder to develop or effect improvements on the land the subject of the certificate of occupancy and to revise such penal rent as provided in to impose a penal rent for a breach of any condition, express.

or implied, which precludes the holder of a statutory right of occupancy from alienating the right of or any part thereof by sale, mortgage, transfer or possession, sub-lease or request or otherwise howsoever without the prior consent of the Governor.

to waive. Wholly or partially, except as otherwise
prescribed; all or any of the covenant or conditions of which a statutory right of occupancy is subject where, owing to special circumstances, compliance therewith would be impossible or great hardship would be imposed upon the holder;

to extend except as otherwise prescribed, the time to the holder of a statutory right of occupancy for performing any of the conditions of the right of occupancy up.

You are absolutely right . Now it is clear why they are using force to build illegally . They do not have genuine papers . Letter of intent is usually given for garden land in abuja . You cannot put permanent structures on it .

However Lere said the Wike re-designated it . To what ? Residential ? If that is the case , Wike is deviating from the abuja master plan also . While it is in his powers to do so , other future ministers can reverse it and demand it is returned to status quo . This is the land grabbing accusation leveled against Wike . He is forcibly removing people.in gardens and re-designating them to residential buildings . Tinubu should call this man to order on this

Wike apologizes to Wike; yeye people

I also believe you are also missing something. You need to find out what happened before the soldiers were mobilize to the site don't just jump to defend nonsense cos the minister acted foolishly before the world and I won't be surprise if he pushed them to issue this public apology to make him look good before the general public. Fear who no fear politician. Someone who said "you are fool" several times on camera and later denied saying it haaaaa.
This man can deny pregnancy. So no just reason am.

You still failed to address the real issue which is that the FCTA has the legal and right to enforce land approvals and in doing so were hindered by armed officers of the navy who assaulted them.

May your days be long. The minister in a bid to look good in the eyes of the public must have instructed these government officials to pesent this position. Politicians can never be trusted, and this has left us in a huge mess as a nation. All these events are signs of a failed system.

This is just a one-off event, and I believe the FCTA and their gangs have assaulted countless helpless Nigerians. Do not be sympathtic to the politial class and their rag-tag foot soldiers. This is a sign of more terrible things to come for them and their godfathers.

Who send them....clowns everywhere

The retired Navy guy should be arrested and his land revoked

May God bless your reasoning ability 👍.
Imagine A Retired Naval Officer Activities and Other Activities of Some Retired Security Men-People,In Nigeria - what they will be using this boys for,while We Are Shouting Insecurity, especially in the Northern States!
We Are Not Serious as a People,at all,as we can't see the Bigger Picture 🖼️ of ILLEGALITY in the Land Acquisition In and Around Abuja- as some would want Wike Out,But Na Lie 🤥.
For Wike,Oga, please,you need to be more mature and diplomatic in your approach to Public Issues, especially when on TV,because most people are doing Bad things, especially those who are in High places,
they want to pick up your Statement - knowing that you are a Lawyer,they then turnaround to tell NIGERIANS - 'See am,na your FTC Minister be that', but Since NIGERIANS love gullible things,they will Only be calling Wike this,Wike that- not going deep down at the Issues!
Please,be guarded in your utterances.
•Meanwhile, Continue To Do What You Are Doing In Abuja - Collect All Our Stolen Lands and Properties,Step on their Toes, Elections losers are in disarray and More Wins For Your Infrastructures Development in Abuja- As this is -What Past Ministers Could Not Do, You Are doing it in 2-&1/2years.
God Bless Nigeria,
God bless Wike,
God bless Tinubu!

On the basis that impunity reigns supreme.
What that episode and the support of majority of Nigerians and former generals show is that most Nigerians have lost faith in this democratic experiment. This could be akin to a coup. The ordinary man on the street and even on social media, support the young military officer not necessarily because they think he did the right thing but because he's giving those who have been running roughshod over the system a taste of their own medicine.
The military men also live among us and they have seen how corruption has permeated every fabric of society. They have seen how the rule of force has trumped the rule of law. So if you think they'll maintain the same level of discipline and regard for civil authority, you're simply engaging in self-deceit.
Tell your gods to retrace their steps. Majority of the people are fast losing faith in this civil governance

We need to sit tight in the country

Orinechi:
Why should the officer argue that the documents were valid? Was he the person who issued the documents? Is it not only a fool that will argue the validity of a documents that were neither issued to him no issued through him

Ur opinion is valid at least d world knows who d true fool was btw wicked wike and Yerima

Orinechi:

We know that by chance the officer may be wrong.
We also know that it is possible that the land was legally acquired.
But whatever the case may be we are not interested.
What is concerned is, why didn't the FCT minister resolve the issue with the chief of naval staff directly rather than confronting a mere officer himself?
What was he thinking?

Useless damage control.
Next time tell your Minister not to take alcohol before going on official duties.
He was drunk that morning.

It's unfortunate that we are what we repeatedly do AND THIS TYPE OF MILITARY 🪖 VS CIVILIANS - that some so called Learned gentlemen are tying to bully Wike,is disheartening for so many Reasons- for we •saw a Typical Replica in Sanwo- Olu and one rascal- Army Chief on the Land in Lagos then!
•This is Pure Military Arrogance - Over the so called ' Bloody Civilians ' , afterall some of the Past Military leaders were So Corrupt,when they were in Government then,
-as Executive, Governors and Ministers,e g Gen.Murtala-Mohammed had to dismiss -many in the States and Regions Over Corruption and Abacha now Crowned them All to becomes the greatest Robbery of NIGERIAN States -that till Today,More Stolen Loots of Abacha Are still coming From all over the World 🌎 !
Is this the Kind of Discipline that Befiitt NIGERIA - under the Guise 😍that they are helping Nigeria but rather they are Illegally helping themselves most times.
We are also aware of Some Gallant Soldiers - Security Men and Women - defending the Country Territorial Integrity ,Lives and Properties and given Wotowoto - to Terrorists - AKA Bandits.

I'm even wondering from what angle and perspective is the officer saying he has integrity if at the end of the day the purported land has not even started the processes for getting building approval and if it has reached.advanced stages.....

Does it fall under military jurisdiction or civilian jurisdiction ?

Do you know what will happen to that officer if he is brought before the civilian court if he is found wanting and his uniform removed?

GOFRONT:
Yerima, Atiku, Wike, Gambo and Matawalle should apologise to Tinubu

To hell with the apologies of fcta , provided its not the military!
Yerima deserves an award for his gallantrily withstanding the intimidation and show of supremacy of that evil monster!

If all the approaches are kept aside and the issue addressed legally, there is no way the land claimant/developer will win the case. As things are deplomacy will be deployed to avoid 'political backlashes'...

Gr8mind07:
Wike should have related with the senior officers directly. Going to confront the officers acting on Ogas order wasn't necessary at all.
Either the land acquisition is legal or illegal, it's a civil matter which is to totally out of military jurisdiction ,but that last approach by Wike was wrong.
