A heated controversy has erupted in Abuja following a clash between Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and a soldier who blocked his access to a section of land in the capital city. The incident, which has gone viral, has drawn widespread condemnation, with APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe calling for the soldier’s dismissal.
Igbokwe took to his Facebook page to slam the soldier’s actions, describing them as “insubordination” and a “direct challenge to constituted authority”. The APC chieftain argued that the soldier’s behavior was unacceptable and undermined the minister’s authority as a representative of the government.
The incident occurred when the soldier, who claimed to be acting on orders, refused to allow Wike and officials of the FCTA to access the land. The confrontation escalated into a heated exchange, with Wike standing his ground against the soldier.
The viral video of the incident has sparked public outrage, with many calling for the soldier to be held accountable for his actions. The incident has also raised concerns about the growing tension between government officials and security personnel in the capital city.
Igbokwe’s call for the soldier’s dismissal has added fuel to the fire, with many wondering if the military will take action against one of its own. The incident is likely to put pressure on the military authorities to take a stance on the matter and address the growing concerns about the behavior of security personnel in the capital city.
