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.
Go and watch the video again.He slap and shove his body guide aside

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
The only place not covered was that WIKE might have slapped the officers on occasions like that on the past.

Wike, who knows him, his seat is on 3 legs. One leg don break.

Well outlined. Protecting him would have reduced the height of his arrogant tendencies and humbled him more effectively as he might have physically abused his security guards in the process of shielding him from the ensued altercation, thereby exposing him and underscoring the professionalism of the security guards.

Mr. Writer we all know how brutish wike is, we all see how he was angrily slapping his aides on the shoulder in the video, what do you expect his aides to do - bundle him while he's ranting? I just hope he didn't see this ur writeup because he can out of annoyance sack those officers because he's already instructed all those working in his office no to use their phones during office hour. What a foolish man.

RISQUE:
I no know why Wike no misbehave further on that day, the soldiers for manhandle am grin grin
I was just imagining what would have happened assuming Wike slapped the Naval Officer

Probably the whole thing would have turned brutal but I think Wike's security would overpower the solders since they outnumber them

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.
Are you saying if Wike slapped that Naval Officer, it wouldn't turn to a royal rumble between the soldiers and Wike's security?

henrybomb:
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.
Now I see the reason why no one in his right senses will choose Wike as his VP as we can see in the case of Atiku

We shouldn't anticipate what never happened.

The officer won't still take his hands off his pocket if Wike had physically assaulted him but we can't say for sure if an over zealous officer behind him won't pull a trigger.......
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by Nobody: 7:57pm On Nov 15, 2025
This one is just trying to second-guess the situation. Wike wasn't attached so he didn't need rounded protection, he was the one trying to bully the officer. If it was the other way round it a different case.

Does Wike even look like someone you can simply carry to safety without him opposing?

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.
So you want to physically remove a personality like Wike against his volation!!
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by decrownprince(m): 8:37pm On Nov 15, 2025
As a security detail, it’s not your job to teach your principal how to do his work. A political figure with many years of experience should already know how to conduct himself in public and avoid embarrassing situations.

The examples the O.P gave are completely different from what happened with Wike. Your responsibility is to tactically shield your principal and ensure his safety when you sense real danger to his life.

But trying to “shield” someone like Wike from humiliation—especially when he is intentionally displaying power and authority—can cost you your job. Besides, his PA and advisers were right there with him, and none of them said or did anything.

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.
OMG 😆
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by eenai(m): 9:36pm On Nov 15, 2025
Well said! 100% correct.
SisterAnn:
Big big grammar that makes no sense.

Go and watch the video, you will see Wike shoving away one of his policemen that tried to restrain him.

While watching again, you will hear Wike bark orders to one of his policemen to arrest the soldier but the order faded into his barking because the police didn't obey him.

This gesture alone by Wike's own police is the reason why he's still alive to be doing damage control everywhere.

Kudos to that policeman.

Well written piece. Very well written.

He is a civil servant. He was elected to serve the masses. As such, any of us here is free to confront him no different from the officer. Being polite to him is optional.

Your assumption will be right if only the motor park behavioural minister had welcomed that. He was always forcing himself to be in frontal stage.
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by Pickup8: 3:11pm On Nov 16, 2025
Take this from me, all of them has tired of Wike, there is a cordinated plan to embarrassed him. He will soon be shown way out of government.
Re: How Wike’s Security Aides Failed Him… by Quidsin(f): 5:09pm On Nov 16, 2025
You wrote a lot. But in this case, you wrote nothing.
1. Did you watch the video well?
2. Did you see how the minister was hitting his security details?
3. Do you think the minister will take any advise from his security.
4. If you know how this political class and there relatives treat this people you wont be blaming them.
