Military Rights Group Condemns Alleged Assassination Attempt on Naval Officer Yerima
The Beyond Barracks Project (BBP), an organisation advocating for the rights and welfare of military families, has condemned the alleged assassination attempt on Lt. Yerima — the naval officer recently involved in a public confrontation with the FCT Minister.
In a statement issued Monday in Kaduna, BBP Executive Director, Mohammed Thompson, expressed deep concern over reports that the officer may have come under threat shortly after the high-profile clash.
Thompson warned that any attempt to intimidate or harm a serving military officer amounts to a direct challenge to Nigeria’s sovereignty. He cautioned that such actions could fuel national tension and undermine morale within the Armed Forces.
