A young Nigerian Navy officer, Lt. A.M. Yarima — who was recently involved in a confrontation with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike — has reportedly survived an assassination attempt on Sunday evening.
According to Vanguard, sources said Yarima was trailed by unidentified men dressed in black and travelling in two unmarked Hilux vans without number plates. The vehicles allegedly followed him from the NIPCO Filling Station off the Line Expressway to Gado Nasco Way.
The officer was said to have detected the surveillance and executed a “strategic maneuver,” successfully eluding the suspected assailants around 6:30 p.m.
Sources added that the incident is currently under investigation and is being treated with “the seriousness it deserves,” noting that further details are being withheld to avoid compromising the process.
