A young Nigerian Navy officer, Lt. A.M. Yerima, reportedly escaped an assassination attempt on Sunday evening, just days after a confrontation with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over a disputed land site.
According to a report by Vanguard, Yerima was trailed by unidentified men dressed in black and riding in two unmarked Hilux vans without number plates. The vehicles allegedly followed him from the NIPCO Filling Station along Line Expressway to Gado Nasco Way.
The sources said the officer noticed the surveillance and executed a “strategic maneuver,” successfully evading the suspected assailants. The incident reportedly occurred around 6:30 p.m. and is currently under investigation. Authorities have withheld further details to avoid compromising the process.
The alleged attack comes days after Lt. Yarima, while on duty with other security personnel, engaged in a tense confrontation with FCT Minister Wike at Gaduwa District over a disputed land site. The clash, captured on video, sparked widespread debate and prompted the Presidency to halt the demolition exercise at the location.
