In the footage, Wike, who was visibly angered by the military officer for failing to obey his directive, lashed out, saying:

The military officer's respectful response, especially when he said, "I am not a fool, sir," has since gained attention on social media.

waleoyeyipo said:

"The officer conducted himself properly for the most part. But he also belittled the police officer, and an officer should also not be guarding a private property. Both parties are in the wrong."

NaijacitizenNim said:

"Me too! Yerima defended the honour of the military and we thank him! He showed restraint, he was poised and so dignified! I am so proud too!"

Sexifiedbygrace reacted:

"But in truth, he was there based on standing Orders."

khaleedtailors said:

"Yeah, that’s true. Sir, my main issue with these new Nigerians is their lack of direction. They act without priorities. Honestly, 90% of our youths need serious reorientation."

moniifeoluwami reacted:

"The guy really tried! Omo. If you call me anything derogatory, I will call you same."
