In a dramatic showdown, the FCT Police Command interrogated Lieutenant A.M. Yerima of the Nigerian Navy after observing that his vehicle’s number plate was deliberately covered.
The tense moment was captured on video, which is now circulating widely online, raising serious concerns over both road law enforcement and military conduct.
The footage shows police officers confronting Yerima, demanding he explain why his plate is obscured.
Yerima responds by insisting on his rank, claiming he is “an officer.” But the policemen push back firmly, asking him to properly identify himself.
As the interaction intensifies, Yerima is seen arguing that he should not be questioned, insisting that the officers are “doing wrong”.
This incident comes on the heels of a recent high-profile clash between Yerima and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, which has dominated headlines.
During that earlier encounter, military personnel allegedly blocked Wike and his team from accessing a disputed parcel of land in Abuja’s Gaduwa District.
The confrontation sparked a nationwide debate on civilian authority and military obedience.
In a related development, reports have emerged that Yerima was trailed by unidentified individuals on Sunday in unmarked vehicles in Abuja.
He allegedly evaded them through sharp driving maneuvers. The matter is now under investigation, raising fresh questions about his safety and the wider implications of the land dispute.
It’s the right for police to check plate number that covered? I just the ask question
What happened to him
But in a country we have security challange did he supposed behave like this ? It seems he believe he can now bully police officer doing their lawful duty
Do you want to upgrade your waec, neco result call Engineer Charles Agbonifo on 08024118157
Unless Wike is tied to a palm tree and shot, we’ll not know rest in this country. Who the hell is he? Nigeria ain’t your playground or sitting room. He who the gods want to destroy, they first make blind and deaf. SAIL NAVY.
Police trailing this officer will cause anarchy very soon if they don’t desist from this because military doesn’t take shit from police
Every Nigerian needs re-orientation in his/her field of operation and social interactions!
They are trailing him for real and it might not end well…..hmmm
And the military personnel should stop acting as if they are above civilian rule. What a arrant nonsense being displayed by this young man. We don’t have a professional military, what we have are just bunch of autocrats, ethnic bigots and crass unintelligent individuals from a particular ethnic stock in the military who thinks they are gods while anyone else even in any other security agency other than military are just bloody civilian. Sic
I think the police were wrong for what they did because he told them that he is an official and show them his id cald still they are still ask him to identify himself how I mean in what way again, I think this is wike police men, this guy needs serious safety now, he should not be working all alone
Police will permit yahoo boys that covered their plate numbers and harass an officer for covering his plate number. All these are handwork of the Minister
[email protected]
Is he supposed to cover his vehicle number plate by his rank?
I have said it that his ego that was raised by that confrontation with Wike will make him make more mistakes, even though the Minister was also wrong in calling him a fool.
Kafinta his own business and he was very happy with the work that he did for us this week and he was a good friend of ours
The police should not start what they can’t finish….I reserved my comments
I think this young officer is trying to protect himself and he has every right to safeguard him as rank officer,they should stop frustrating this young man
The FCT administration should has matter of urgency offered Naval LT. Yerima a maximum protection now because should any harm come his way accusing fingers shall be pointing directly at Wike and Nigeria police and what will happen thereafter president Tinubu may not be able to curtailed it
That’s a revenge on what has transpired so far
Even the police officers can not speak good English
What is wrong with this police men that can’t even speak good English, why are police men following him? They should be very careful.
Some of Nigeria police oficers are just so unprofessional…
The officers did not even see her .
so police can camera individual while they will be running from camera.
Why always nigerian police are the one that always looking for trouble haba they should leave this young please. You guys no let anything happen to this young man oooh.
It’s very unfortunate this is happening at this point in time may God help us oooookkkkk
Work
So he is now above the law? Nigerians and their sentimental myopic mindset… This boy will snowball into the menace of Nigeria’s fundamental human rights right before our very eyes if not checked with urgency! I repeat he is not a hero!!!
I observed with dismayed the attitude of the police over this young officer,they should be canvassing support to ensure his safety cos just yesterday he was trailled n he has to put in moderlities for self protection n which hiding his plate no’ is one of it,if police n politicians r ready to change Nigeria will change.
This young lad is obviously very arrogant. Younger version of Wike

I didn’t even see am…..
Wahala be like Nigeria Police!
He thinks his now above the law small rat abokl
Nigeria police will cease being used because of money. Nothing do Yerima, I am sure of that The governor of the state, FCT minister has given threat and that is the result. They engineer every arm of government in their reach to bully people. When you rise to fame in this kind of way especially against the government that is the treatment you receive. God help Yerima.
