Wike-Yerima clash: Woman shares her observation
According to Emem, the unidentified man would have taken to his heels if he had the chance, adding that she suspects he soiled himself.
She further stated that the man was looking for someone taller to hide behind as the situation escalated between Wike and the naval officer.
She suspected the man's conduct might be connected to a past unpleasant encounter with military men. Emem's Facebook post read:
"When I saw this video and was watching it with my husband, I spotted this man here. When they landed for the inspection, he was standing close to Wike. When the soldier was introducing himself and Wike raised his voice, this guy immediately shifted back. I watched the whole drama and noticed this man's action. If there was an opportunity, this man would have run away.
Barrister speaks on Wike-Yerima clash
In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Barrister Ebimnamaonye Chidera Divine faulted the FCT minister and the naval officer for their conduct.
According to him, both men shared in the blame, and he explained why he said so. Regarding Yerima's conduct, he said:
"None of them were right in their approaches. Quite frankly, Wike, as the Minister of the FCT, has the constitutional powers to oversee land in the FCT.
"Challenging his powers by stopping him from enforcing these powers as a military officer is unlawful and illegal. Meanwhile, orders in the army are not absolutely compelled to be followed by a military officer.
"The Supreme Court has stated that an officer will be liable for adhering to an illegal order. Any order by the military to stop a minister from exercising their ministerial duties is illegal once it is not coming from the court."
On Wike's behaviour, he said:
"On the other hand, Wike is at fault for making insulting and provocative statements as a public office holder to the military officer."
She continued:
"If I'm not mistaken, this man has peed on his clothes already. The man was running up and down, looking for someone taller than him to hide behind. Immediately, one of the soldiers came to warn the man in black sunglasses, this man shifted and hid behind the other man wearing plain clothes.
"Ehh, e be like soldiers don tell this man to do frog jump before lol. Na this kind man dey sleep for back then tell the wife to sleep for front lol."
