Tension as FCT Police, Military Officer Lt. Yarima Face Off Over Concealed Number Plate [Photos/Video]

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.
