Defence Headquarters Commends Military Officer’s Stand Against Wike Over Abuja Land Dispute

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has commended the professionalism and resilience of the Nigerian military following a confrontation between a military officer and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over a disputed piece of land in Abuja.

Videos from the incident showed Wike attempting to access the land, only to be blocked by the officer, who insisted he was acting on official orders. Despite the tense exchange, the officer remained firm, refusing to allow the Minister entry.

In a social media post, the DHQ subtly praised the military’s dedication, stating:
“IT IS AN HONOUR TO SERVE IN THE NIGERIAN MILITARY
UNSHAKEN.
UNBENT.
UNBROKEN.”

The statement highlights the military’s commitment to discipline and duty, even in politically sensitive situations, and underscores the ongoing challenges surrounding land allocations in the Federal Capital Territory.
