Federal Capital Minister, Nyesom Wike was up to it today facing up to an unidentified soldier over land-grabbing incident.

Emotions ran high on the two sides, with a handful of Nigerians present to watch

The incident happened in the Gaduwa District of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) where Wike could be heard asserting that no one, even in uniform was qualified to intimidate any other person.

He accused the officer, allegedly linked to a former Chief of Naval Staff of illegally taking possession of a parcel of land.

“Because you are an officer? Nobody does that. The man took land because he was the Chief of Naval Staff?” the FCT minister had said.

In his counter, the officer in a smart military camouflage, could be heart countering:

“I will not shut up,” he stated
