Wike as minister was representing the President of Nigeria.
Lieutenant Yerima was very wrong and disrespected the president by disrespecting the FCT minister

Most people who are supporting the Naval personnel are IPOB/OBIDIENTS and are doing so out of hatred for Wike. IPOB/OBIDIENTS have hated Wike mostly for 3 reasons:-
1) Wike publicly declared he is not Igbo
2) Wike stopped the killings of Hausas in Oyigbo by IPOB elements
3) Wike refused to support Peter Obi in the last presidential elections

Former Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor (rtd) is a very unintelligent person because Wike was representing the president yet a Lieutenant thinks he can disobey a whole minister.

Brendaniel:
I though your FG proscribed IPOB as a terrorist group.

So how come your same FG allowed many terrorists(according to you and your FG) to enter the supreme court to hail their leader without arresting them?

Are you saying your FG is now accommodating terrorists on their premises?

If FG should arrest them now. Same you will be rolling on the floor crying upandan

Bello Matawalle is not intelligent for him to think Wike is answerable to the service chiefs

chiagozien:
God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.




Supreme Court staffs happy to see the Hero they watch on television.

.

Brendaniel:
Supreme court staffs are hailing a man the government they are working for is calling a terrorist while the same government is shielding herdsmen from prosecution for killing their very own citizens and refuses to call them terrorists while their supporters come from 2 regions which we all know...

Since when did IPOB members who went to court to see their master become supreme court staff

I will repeat: Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima was following orders, that is his job.

He was not sent there to play property lawyer or adjudicate land disputes.

Expecting him to question the legality of every instruction he receives is naive at best, insubordination at worst.

The Ex-CNS may have abused influence to get personnel deployed, but that does not make the lieutenant guilty of wrongdoing.

Military duty is about execution, not judgment, and confusing the two is a civilian mistake that keeps getting repeated.

The military operates under a different legal framework from civilians. Active-duty personnel are primarily governed by military codes, such as the Armed Forces Act in Nigeria.

Ahmed Yerima was on active duty, following orders from a superior was exactly what he was required to do.



Let us use an analogy: imagine you were a child, and your father or mother told you not to let anyone into the house when they were not around.
Now suppose a property lawyer shows up to check the property. Would you just let the person in because they claim to be the lawyer?

An obedient child would not. The parent gave clear instructions, do not let anyone in.

The child does not concern themselves with whether the building is leased or owned, or whether the lawyer is doing their job.

All the child knows is that it is the parent's house, and no one is allowed inside without permission.

Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima did exactly what he was supposed to.

So in other words, the The Ex-CNS could give an order for Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima to enter your house and sleep with your daughter. After all, he must obey all orders.

I no even know how some of una dey think.

This issue can only be resolved in a court of law because:-
1) The Ex-CNS cannot give any order as his is now 100% civilian
2) The issue is not a military case and he cannot use military to resolve it as the constitution is very clear on it.
3) The Ex-CNS abused his privileges by using federal government time (using a serving military personnel) to pursue private issues

99thEnemy:
Many here on Nairaland are blaming the Lieutenant.

emiye, stuffs2002, Love800, maasoap and others.

I take it back. I will not blame the Lieutenant because he was following orders.
However, the order was not a lawful order and the Lieutenant was only doing eye service as he was not really under any obligation to follow the order because it is not a land owned by the military and the only thing the senior army officer that gave the order could have done was to go to court.

I am sure even the young officer would not be happy about the publicity he is getting as it can mar his career in the Navy.

muyico:
Did you asked for her birth certificate??
This gurl Don trapped you!!

How did she trap him?
Person show you evidence yet you still dey talk

Some say Regina's date of birth is 10 Oct 2000. She got married on 26 May 2019. That means she was 18 years and 6 months old when she became Ned's wife. So, how come is she now claiming he married her at 17?

MadMonk:
This is completely misleading! Wike ought to have dealt with the matter at the Command level of the Navy or the Arned Forces through the CDS or even the ONSA. The order given to that Lieutenant to secure that site was not palpably or manifestly illegal. If the young officer had chosen to stand down and proceeded to leave the site, charges like disobedience to lawful order, insurbordination or conduct contrary to service discipline etc would have ensued before a court martial and that could easily end the officer's career. A military personnel given orders by a 3 Star commander to lead armed personnel to secure a site cannot possibly seek legal opinion from the legal department of his service arm before obeying the order. He cannot also ask for the title documents of the property before deciding whether to obey the order or not. So, how was AM Yerima supposed to determine that the order given to him was illegal in these circumstances?
A similar incident occurred at Magodo, Lagos, when a police was asked to leave the estate where he was leading a team of policemen on a mission to protect property, allegedly on the orders of the IG. The policeman refused to obey the Governor. When the governor asked him to call his superiors on the phone to inform them that he had been ordered to leave the estate, the policeman responded by saying he was too small to call his superiors and that the governor should do so himself.

AM Yerima was right to have refused to take orders from Wike which derogated from the orders given to him by his Commander. Wike had a choice to go over and above AM Yerima to sort out the issue but chose his regular route of intimidation instead. Of course, the tactic backfired spectacularly this time around and he doesn't deserve any pity at all. Even Wike himself implied that the only reason he left the place in the end was because the CDS intervened. But it's Instructive to note that the CDS, a 4 Star General, didn't order AM Yerima to leave the site! It can only go to show the lad was right all along and acted professionally. The idea or argument that Lieutenant AM Lawal acted outside the law by refusing to trade the orders of his commanders for those of Wike cannot be right!

Una go just dey quote wetin una no understand.
How was that a lawful order? A case that is 100% civil is the one you are bringing soldiers to intimidate everyone instead of going to the court.

Is the said piece of land a military property?

Sending your military boys to chase away and beat up anyone that comes near a piece of land that you have no title to is called trespassing and AM Yerima was trespassing on that land if you are to look at the legality of the situation.


Keep encouraging military impunity just because you hate Wike... No worry E go reach your turn.

99thEnemy:
Doesn't change the fact that Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima was on his right for acting on orders from his superiors.


Armed Forces Act, Cap A20, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004:

1. Section 56 – Disobedience to lawful orders

“A person subject to service law who disobeys a lawful command given personally by his superior officer is guilty of an offence and liable, on conviction by a court-martial, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or any less punishment provided by this Act.”


N.B : Don't misinterpret the clause "lawful orders". The context is ambiguous in this very case.

Lawyers with the understanding of Martial Law, over to you.

PlasmaTV:
His Excellency, Peter Obi. A gentleman to the core.

Same Peter Obi that was waging a religious war on the Muslims in Nigeria

PigTormentor:
I just watched the whole video not just the sound bites. That officer should be court martialed and dismissed with immediate effect.
Total lack of respect for civilian authority. He was arguing that the land was acquired legally in front of the man who oversees the whole FCT. How does he know that?
This is why Nigerian military personnel goes around slapping people just because they have on a uniform.

Naval personnel was 100% wrong but Igbos are online praising him

Most people who are supporting the Naval personnel are IPOB/OBIDIENTS and are doing so out of hatred for Wike. IPOB/OBIDIENTS have hated Wike mostly for 3 reasons:-
1) Wike publicly declared he is not Igbo
2) Wike stopped the killings of Hausas in Oyigbo by IPOB elements
3) Wike refused to support Peter Obi in the last presidential elections

Fuckyoumod:
Lol .. the people laughing don't know that Wike like the Governor of Abuja, Wike is empowered by to ensure Abuja development plans are followed.

A COS that couldn't lead by example by ensuring he gets all the necessary documents from relevant government authority. Decided to use military might and I see people supporting him because Wike is involved.

Such illegality will not stand before the law.

FCT authority should go to Court and seek an injunction barring the COS of claiming to be the owner of the land and asked to produce all relevant documents that supports his ownership to the land. Failure to provide those documents will automatically strip him of ownership.

COS does not know Wike, this is not a military case, it's not against boko haram or armed robbers.

It's now a civil case, lol.... Sorry Wike go revoke that land. Lol.... Wike will laugh the last laugh.

The retired military general is just being unintelligent and lacking in how to handle civil ways.

As long as he does not have the documents to the said piece of land, he is trespassing on the land even if he brings a million soldiers.

Jahwinaboy:
U go explain tire... Damage control. Why not go to court and follow the legal procedures rather than going there to confront soldiers.

.

Do not allow your hatred for Wike to blind you to logic.
It is the general that should go to court because he was the one scammed

BeardedMeat:
Hahaha 😃

Chaii!

NL shaa 🤣

The problem with all these IPOB/OBIDIENT people is that they are completely ruled by their emotions. You hate Wike and you are ready to bring him down just because he refused to support the fraud called Obi in the last presidential elections. Your hatred for Wike is the reason you are taking sides with the illegality of the military in this case.

You can only fault Wike's approach but he is 100% on the right side of the law. I have posted for you a link to prove to you that Wike was in the right and the military man was wrong.

EyeCumInPeace:
Person wey scam a whole Army Vice Admiral get mind o.

.

jaxxy:
Ok scammed by who? since lere feels the need to shalaye.

So a military chief can be scammed in Nigeria??

Abd the scam was discovered after wike entered office?

Army generals get scammed a lot
They are the easiest people to scam because they don't do due diligence before shelling out their money

BeardedMeat:
I wish I didn't have to engage you. But let me ask, did you read the Op?

I read the OP and I also have background knowledge of the said piece of land.

I also wished I did not have to engage you because the only authority you quoted was some unknown lawyer without a name nor any form of identity.

You don't even know how to spread propaganda.
Your retired military officer was scammed by the person/company who sold him the land in the first place. That person/company is the person that should have been contacted by the retired military officer is the person that scammed him and sold him land without proper documentation.

Laple0541:
In as much I think Mr Wike ought to have managed the situation more maturely, I think the impunity of Nigerian military personnels need to be addressed again and again. They always think they are demigods when dealing with civilians. Why should a retired general think he can retain a piece of land even when such land is not procured in a right way?

To think that the said piece of land was never his from the get go because the retired general was scammed by the person who sold the land to him.

KingAzubuike:
Police that doesn't even know the number of men he has on ground. And he's calling himself a chief superintendent.

Moreover sanwo handled his own situation professionally and in a more mature way

Hahahaha
Why should he divulge his security situation to you

Las las you go dey alright

Did the so called top military officers acquire the land legally?


Wike is doing his job and setting the record straight. That you are a top military officer does not mean you will see any land and declare it your own just because you have guns

ElevationD:
No wonder there’s so much poverty in the land. Continue.

Na Wike dey cause all your family problems na

You hate Wike so much just because he refused to support the fraud called Obi in the last presidential elections.
Same way IPOB/OBIDIENTS have been begging Tump to attack Nigeria just because the fraud called Obi lost the presidential elections

The problem with all these IPOB/OBIDIENTS is that they allow themselves to be moved solely by their emotions

bandad:
Run go collect the land from the military if Dem bon u well.

Hahaha....

That has been the DMMBEST thing to say because there are several cases to take inferences from.

The only way anyone can win such a land case is through the courts. So anyone using soldiers to beat up anyone that comes to that land is only wasting his time.

shortgun:
He was 100% correct to call a military officer a fool?
You people will never disappoint

Stop being emotional. Wike retracted that statement and also apologised to the officer.
You bringing it up amounts to double punishment

ogascomax:
Just talking out of points. Must it be this rubbish example.

Hahahaha

Order is order na

otomatic:
Ok let me engage at your level of reasoning, since you cannot differentiate between personal and official duties.
That thing I would have done to the soldier, i expected Wike to do same but he didn't. Why? He would have found out his true status.

E be like say mkporu mirri still dey your blood.

The case is 100% civil and the land is a personal land of a retired navy personnel
