The last attempt on Trump also exposed the need for the protection officers to be equal in height or taller than their principal.

No matter how good an agent is a 5ft-5in tall person shouldn't be a primary guard to someone 6ft-2in tall or taller.

That has since been corrected.

Look at Putin's and Kim's primary guards are way taller.

Even with all the visual evidence, I don't believe somebody with an unbiased mentality could sit and type all this gibberish. Do you think if the case were to be 'The Nigerian Police vs Nigerian Civil Defense', the scenario wouldn't escalate beyond repair?

Wike is too stubborn and arrogant. He will insult any officer that tries to persuade him to leave the scene.
He even tapped a DSS personnel from standing in front of him

Wike made their job extremely difficult. Did you not notice when one of Wike's security detail told off one of the gun-wielding military guys to put the mouth of his gun away from Wike? He literally used his hand to turn the gun away, but arrogant Wike rebuked his own security detail for trying to save his life. Did you not hear the guy say, "This is not professional"? Yet Wike kept rebuking his own security for standing up for him. That's how difficult it is to protect a difficult person.

Those guys did their best from my own point of view. Go back and see the clip again and you will find what I just mentioned. E nor easy to work for Wike o. When principals continue to interfere with their security protocols, then there is not much that can be done to save them from danger.

Wike doesn't seem to be someone who'll listen to his aides.

This write up seems too elementary and you the Op concentrated on theatrics alone and left one simple thing many in the media have called "insult".

The mere fact that Leut. Yerima had his hands in both of his side pockets and later had them both clasped together in front of him all in the video shows that there would not be any physical confrontation from him even if was physically assaulted.
So I'd assume the security detail and DSS officers guarding the FCT Minister had no reason to panic.
The Op is wrong in saying they stood like morons or some sort of he truly understands such things.

Nice article, but I think they did not anticipate characters like the FCT minister who may not always heed advice. Hence for me, security details should be able to directly challenge and refuse orders from politically exposed pers when needed

For instance I read that in the US, the SS can override the instructions of the president when such actions can prevent imminent danger to his life.

So in this case, that the security details allowed him proceed to the disputed venue is bad enough, but as things began to escalate and tempers flare, it was expected they immediately - physically, if need be - remove him from that environment.
wike would take that as an even greater abomination

Like his enemies have infiltrated his security

He only went there for showmwnship cum force using the army as scapegoat to his "enemies"

But the show backfired

Read the article again, all those aspects are covered, security aides goes beyond escort, it entails managing the boss temperament so as not to cause public embarrassment
This writer is talking for the sake of talking. You know fully well no one in Nigeria or even anywhere else in the world can willy nilly bundle their boss away from a scene just because they think he is embarrassing himself. You'll be out of a job the next day.

this happens when you have a tout who is not yet retired from active service with security grin

Him too want to chest out and settle it the old way of raw confontation

No tell cultist say Protocol dey, it makes him look weak isn't this what timubu rewarded him for?
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by NOETHNICITY(m): 9:17am On Nov 15, 2025
I read the first five sentences and then gave up. The whole issue began as a polite conversation, and it remained purely verbal, even though it grew tense, until the end. Besides, Wike isn’t the kind of person who would want any form of physical shielding—it would make him appear as though he needed protection, which would be seen as a sign of weakness.
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by Afritop(m): 9:18am On Nov 15, 2025
I don’t blame the security details. Wike is known to be stubborn and aggressive. He won’t gree even if they want to scuttle him out of danger

This article would have made sense if Wike was being attacked. In this case he was the attacker.
Man would have slapped and embarrassed any detail trying to calm him down or remove hi. From the scene because of pride.
Those details have been with him and know how he can be.
Exactly. Wike was not in danger

All this long epistle for nothing. Wike was never in any danger. They were not confronting criminals or hoodlums but state security personnel. They know themselves, they trust the training they have been through. Nobody was going to shoot anybody there.

And finally, he was the aggressor.

That wike is too arrogant and like playing mini god. A person like wike can slap his bodyguard if he tries to even protect him. Because wike believes if it's not his way then is the highway.

In the video, wike was clearly ready for a fight with the officer. The situation didn't deteriorate because the officer handled the provocation so well!

Lol imagine calling a commissioned officer a fool simply because you are opportune to lord over Abuja.
Very correct! You can say that again

the only thing I got from this pretentious piece is that the writer who knows nothing about the law has implicitly admitted that the Minister of the FCT was in danger in the hands of the navy personnel who were deployed where they have no constitutional authority to be.

Oga, the police there did their best while thier boss was exchanging words with their oga oga. Do they needed to mute to help their oga from getting a dirty slap from the Navy officer. Lt. Yerima. Odogwu, ezego of our time.

Nothing was going to happen. It was controlled . They did not fail him. They were prepared for the worst . Their principal was fully protected.

Totally irrelevant, altercation and danger compared, in this case wike initiated the altercation

Truth that.

If I were the lieutenant, I for rough-handle Wike after he called me a fool. I would show him how fools behave.

You nailed it completely
Not all those tribalistic and unintelligent people saying Wike was right going to the site.

How on earth did his security details not sense that things may escalate quickly?
Some of them stood there foolishly while others were shoving each other back and forth..it was a show of shame.

Wike on the other hand is an arrogant person with Pharaoh’s complex who will never listen to anyone because he thinks he can order people around…imagine a scenario where during the shoving around a trigger happy police or naval combatant do the unthinkable it would be a bloodbath in that site.

I still cant help but wonder how one person keeps fighting with everyone as if he is the only minister in Nigeria.
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by nedekid: 10:35am On Nov 15, 2025
Funny article, so you expect security details to put their lives in danger protecting a Nigerian politician such as wike? De play..
Watch that video of the clash properly, did you notice when wike was telling the soldier to shutup and he was replying that he will not, one of wikes aides quietly reached out from behind the officer to tap his shoulder to calm down, but supprisingly one of wikes security officials in suit signaled to the aide not to interfere, as if let Oga face the humiliation he long deserved.
Furthermore did you hear one of wikes police security try to calm his colleagues, both in the navy and police by saying why will we kill ourselves over big men's quarrel?
