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

ALTERNATEID:
When it comes to deploying soldiers for internal security, the approval of Mr. President is required. Military only deploy soldiers to protect senior military personnel and Military formations. They don’t deploy soldiers to protect a building site on a disputed land.

Those soldiers you see in residential houses are strictly posted to protect a senior military personnel. They are to protect the life of the senior officer and not to be used to fight over construction sites.

ALTERNATEID:
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.

ALTERNATEID:
FCT does not need to take anybody to court over this matter. The former CNS was never a legal occupant of the land at any time so the issue of seeking a court process to remove him does not arise. If you build on FCT land without title and approval, your building will be pulled down without any court proceedings. If you then feel that FCT had acted illegally, you have the right to take FCT to court.

yarimo:
Bitter losers will soon invade this thread with insults and hateful comment against fcta. Mteeeew bitter people everywhere

Iamzik:
Resorting to insult instead of answering a simple question is a sign of low IQ.

Soldiers were deployed during 2023 election in Lagos. Was there bandits or bokoharam attack in Lagos?

Let's hope you can answer this one instead of throwing emotional tantrum on the internet

KingOfAmebo:

Them threaten to shoot the driver, those guy go do am and nothing go happen.
















Why did they move their bulldozers out of the site within 24 hours of the incident if the documents tied to that site is illegal? Why would Galadima apologize to the same Wike he confirmed to have called to intervene in the issue? Does this even make any sense to any sane human being?

adekolaelect:
Some people blame Wike for his choice of words towards the officer, Some blamed him BCS they hate him with person seen him working with Tinubu but in reality Wike is 100% right to inspect the site based on his obligation as see in see of the federal capital . He has right to investigate and decide what happens based on the law that govern FCT once he remains the Minister of FCT.

kilmot:
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.

kinguwem:
The General resorted to self help instead of providing his land documents. I believe he humiliated the military & gave Wike the opportunity to dishonour the military uniform. The officer was on illegal duty. Irrespective of how we intend to glorify him, the truth is obvious.

bewla:
One lesson we most all no there is abuse of power by the army

But the officer yerima was just following order which there are told to do without asking

So the senior officer the post them to guard a private property need to be charged

And the retired senior officer need to be strep of his entailment
Who no how many more he will have done when is in active service

Taxe payer money waste on private and personal duty


Also Wike should apologize to all the personal that follow him for putting there life at risk

If one of dose soldier is having post war tramer what do you think will have happened there and then

Afrojuju2017:
O

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.

Burob:
Na person wey never acquire land b4, & applied for Governor’s consent they yan like u, so make I no too blame u for cho cho cho.

kilmot:
I just said, go and arrest him or pull down the structure since you know too much. Nye nye Nye.

paxonel:
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?

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

Comfyonos2019:
Oga, you people should listen well . He even introduced himself as a chief security officer of the retired chief of naval staff and even said he submitted the documents to the fcta office. Wike went there will a plan to grab that land. Are you saying that politicians should not have respect for the military of such high cadre who have fought to protect and preserve this country because we are in a democratic govt. It's well

kilmot:
Ask yourself why the IGP warn his men then you will understand who enforce laws or order.

Nukilia:
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.

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.
