Police breaks silence over alleged assassination attempt on Navy officer Lt. Yerima after altercation with Wike

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has dismissed reports alleging an assassination attempt on the life of Nigerian Navy officer, Lt. A.M. Yerima, who recently made headlines following a confrontation with the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike.

A statement released on Sunday by the spokesperson of the Command, Josephine Adeh, clarified that the viral claim suggesting that unidentified men attempted to eliminate the officer is entirely unfounded.

According to Adeh, there is no record or report of such an incident anywhere in the Federal Capital Territory, and the public has been urged to ignore the alarming narrative circulating online.

“The attention of the FCT Police Command has been drawn to publications circulating on social media alleging an attempted assassination on Lt. Ahmed Yerima.

The Command wishes to categorically state that no such incident has been reported or recorded anywhere within the Federal Capital Territory.

The public is advised to disregard this false information and desist from spreading unverified claims capable of causing unnecessary panic,” the statement read.
