Meanwhile, the video has sparked reactions among Nigerians on social media.

In a post he made on X, a user identified as Abdulsalam5476 said Yerima acted unprofessionally.

His words:

"I'm not saying the police are innocent, but if he had addressed them professionally, it wouldn't have escalated to this level. This is totally unprofessional, no matter who you are. The police have the right to stop and ask why you covered your plate number, and there must be a document that backs the reason for covering your plates for security reasons."

@001Xtasy said:

"This whole situation just exposes the deeper problem we have a country where everyone bends the rules, both citizens and those in uniform. A covered plate is wrong, and inconsistent policing is equally wrong. Until we fix the system that enables this lawlessness on all sides, these ‘viral moments will keep happening. Nigeria needs order, not drama."

@jimmyshomuji said:

"It appears that the little fame Nigerians accorded you during your ordeal with Wike has now run into your head. What was once sympathy and support from the public has seemingly been misinterpreted as a license for arrogance and self-importance. Leadership and influence are not built on fleeting popularity or temporary applause; they are sustained by humility, service, and consistency. When one allows short-lived recognition to cloud judgment, it risks alienating the very people who once stood in solidarity. Nigerians value resilience and integrity, not pride born out of momentary headlines. The lesson here is clear: fame is fragile, and only those who remain grounded in character and purpose can truly sustain it."
