FULL TRANSCRIPT: Wike in Altercation With Military Officer over Abuja land

Lt AM Yarima: “The land belongs to a former Chief of Naval Staff and with valid documents.”

Wike: “You cannot tell me that. You cannot continue to act with impunity in this way and you can not continue to work illegally. You are not the one to say we have documents. It does not matter”.

Yarima: ”It matters. I am an officer. I take to order from a three-star General”.

Wike: “There is no order than me, you are taking an illegal order. You will never develop this plot. I will never allow it”.

Yarima: “No problem, sir. I am only acting on my order”.

Wike: “If you want to kill everybody, kill everybody”.

Yarima: “We will not kill anybody, sir”.

Wike: “You will put yourself in trouble”.

At this stage the DSS and police officials accompanying Wike fiercely challenged Yarima for having the effrontery to challenge a Minister and asked him to stop talking. But Yarima apparently was angered stood his ground, warning the ministerial security details that “You cannot shut me up, you are my juniors. You cannot even talk when I am talking. I am talking and policemen are talking”.

Wike: “This land does not belong to him (Gambo). If you have a problem, come and see me in office to resolve this. And as officer, you should know that carrying guns about and intimidating Nigerians is not the best way. It is the reason why I came. But nobody will die, anyway”.

Wike: “You are going about to encroach somebody’s land, because you are an officer. Nobody does that”.

Yarima: “We did not carry any body’s land”

Wike: The man took land and I will not allow that because he was Chief of Naval Staff….”

Yarima” Everything was acquired legally…”

Wike: “Will you stop that…!”

Yarima” I am an officer, I have integrity….”

Wike: “Shut up your mouth, who does that…”

“Yarima: “I wont shut up. You cant shut me up.”

Wike: “Will you keep quiet. Are you a big fool?”

Yarima: “I am not a fool sir. I am acting on orders”

Wike: “Which orders?

Yarima: “You can’t call me a fool. I am a commissioned officer.”
