Didn't you see the DSS guy that was trying to buffer him from direct confrontation.

Go watch the video and see how he pushed the DSS guy.

Nice article
But to my own opinion in security work
Not all Boss will listen to you
Not all situations you will lead Boss away some he will want to say his mind
And all Boss are not the same when you study and work with some you will know the type of person he is

We learn everyday

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.
DSS OR SS becomes the presidents boss in time of violence, the president obeys whatever he asks him to do.

Wike is too stubborn and arrogant. He will insult any officer that tries to persuade him to leave the scene.

The writer seem not to understand the person of Wike !
If the details had attempted taken him away, I'm sure he would have fought them tooth and nails

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.
If you say this then you haven't worked as security aid to top government officials, it is part f the training, even as an aide,the are things you have to do to protect the image of your boss

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
What the article did not tell us is what the writer would have done in that case.
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by HOSTCOM(m): 11:56am On Nov 15, 2025
The article is not sweetable for this wike scenario now. Wike is the aggressor here not the other way round.
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by Rindo69: 11:58am On Nov 15, 2025
Didnt they see how Wike practically pushed away his Security detail whonwas shielding him from the soldier.

You cannot provide security to a volatile man. He shouldn't have been in such a situation in the first place. He is a minister not a tout

Mention one example of an incident involving a verbal altercation like Wike's own, with respect to a high-ranking official - anywhere in the world - where his security aides bundled him against his will away to protect his image.

You won't stop and think before typing and you want to force everyone to be like you. Why?
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by Pootle:
this article is spot on, with a security agency already on ground with guns who you dont really know if they are real officers or not is something to talk about. walking the principal to a hot zone is thoughtless, the aid was suppose to go see yerima first and tell him that my boss is coming and if he stands his ground wike communicate with the boss on phone in the secured car, jumping out to face another security agency head on is a bad idea. wike security aids need to get some swipe for the unfortunate incident.

when i was in school we stopped a governor from entering the school we blocked the gate and the governor did not step out only his aid that was trying to communicate with us SUG excos, and when no head way they turned arround and left the governor did not try coming down to talk us down.

Very stupid write up

They should shield him who doesn't want to be shielded.

Wine that thinks he can go guns blazing into any part of FCT

Bloggers and Chatgpt are 5 & 6. Just copying and pasting without adding little of your knowledge and writing skills.

Nice piece though!
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by BondRiv: 12:25pm On Nov 15, 2025
They didn't fail him. The article contains examples which have nothing to do with the situation under examination.

The Minister received a distress call from his staff and arrived at the scene with heavy security. They knew what to expect. He didn't need shielding, he was there to confront illegality.

Those military officers couldn't have dared to do otherwise. There were guns everywhere. You guys act like soldiers are not flesh and blood. People don't understand leadership involves courage. Now this incident has sparked a reform in the senate.

Sometimes, a leader has to go the battlefront. It is unfortunate that the former CNS created that battle scene by deploying naval officers, while terrorists are vacationing in the same country.

Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by Bahamas95(m): 12:25pm On Nov 15, 2025
You're right but I am not sure you watched the video very well. Wike was pushing one of the security men who was trying to restrain him.


They know the kinda person they're working with, as a security man if you take a bûllèt for someone like Wike your ancestors will kee you again when you arrive at the other side.

Watch the video again, you will see where the security aides was cautioning Wike and he shoved him off, he even told the Naval personals to give space and not to be too close
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by MrGerald(m): 12:57pm On Nov 15, 2025
In all of these my observation is the Wike doesn't look healthy
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by emperor4love(m): 1:05pm On Nov 15, 2025

Thank GOD you noticed that part. Dude kept disrupting his own security protocol.
They even formed a circle around him with Lt. Yerima as some point in their middle.

Make una leave Wike matter abeg.

I’ve read most of the comments here, and it’s surprising how people are blaming Wike for being stubborn, while ignoring their own lack of objectivity.
The OP’s point is clear: you can’t control Wike — I agree. But if even five of his security aides understood their roles, they could have formed a circular shield and gradually pushed him away to safety.
The aides failed to properly assess the situation. Wike cannot possibly push all his security aides aside.
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by ShoeMarket: 1:43pm On Nov 15, 2025
Interesting article but the author failed to tell us in details what he would have done if he was the one protecting Wike. This means that if he was there, he probably would have stood looking too.

Again, does Wike look like someone his security details can even whisk away? An arrogant, brutal and egocentric man like him will risist those guys to the last and even sack them afterwards.

A mad man is a mad man.

Lastly, if Wike does not get national barrassment, now tell me, who should?

Abeg leave the security details alone jare.

I stand with Nyesom Wike any day any time. Let your insolent and radical officer should go flex muscle with iswap, fulani herders, Bandits, Boko haram, Ansaru terrorists. Nonsense and animalistic people

He listened to no one..not even his security aids. People like that are easy to silence without trace
