"Wike called the Chief of Defense Staff thinking the guy would panic. It's the steeze and confidence for me. Listen to it..."

The army officer accepted the phone and spoke to his boss. The conversation goes:

"Hello sir. Morning sir. I'm fine thank you. Sir I'm here on orders. We mobilized to site a couple of days ago. Then the engineer kept telling me that police men kept coming to embarrass them and harass them, and they have been coming to threaten them that if they don't leave, they will arrest them, they will strike them and all. Then he brought it to our attention. So as the security officer to the Vice Admiral, I was called and we acted. Sir, we are not doing anything illegal, we are here on the orders of the vice admiral."
