A standoff erupted in Gaduwa, Abuja, when FCT Minister Nyesom Wike confronted Naval Lieutenant A.M. Yerima over a disputed land site. Videos of the clash went viral as Yerima calmly resisted intimidation, declaring, “I have my integrity.”

The confrontation sparked national debate on civilian authority vs. military respect. President Tinubu intervened discreetly, preventing escalation. By Thursday, the bulldozer at the center of the dispute was removed, restoring calm.
