Nigerian Navy officer, Lt. A.M. Yarima, who was recently involved in a confrontation with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, allegedly evaded an assassination attempt around 6:30pm on Sunday, Nov. 16. According to Vanguard, military sources revealed that Yarima was trailed by unidentified individuals clad in black and riding in two unmarked Hilux vans with no number plates. The vehicles purportedly followed him from the NIPCO Filling Station off the Line Expressway to Gado Nasco Way. According to the source, Yarima noticed the men trailing him and executed a 'strategic maneuver,' successfully evading the suspected assailants. The source added that the matter is under investigation and is receiving 'the seriousness it deserves.' The source also disclosed to the publication that further details are being withheld so as not to compromise the investigation. This incident comes days after Lt. Yarima, while on duty with other security personnel, engaged in a tense confrontation with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over a disputed land site in Gaduwa District.
