A young officer of the Nigerian Navy, Lt. A.M. Yarima, who recently became the subject of public attention following an altercation with the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has reportedly survived an attempted assassination in Abuja on Sunday night.
According to eyewitness accounts, unidentified assailants trailed the officer with the intent to eliminate him, but he narrowly escaped the attack.
Early reports suggest that the incident may be linked to the recent confrontation between Lt. Yarima and the Minister, a clash that sparked widespread reactions across social media platforms.
As of the time of filing this report, no official statement has been released by the Navy, the Police, or any other security agency regarding the attack.
The public, however, continues to express deep concerns over the safety of security personnel who appear to be under pressure following the highly publicized dispute.
Investigations are expected to intensify as Nigerians demand clarity and accountability over the disturbing development.
