Lieutenant Yarima, who recently had a confrontation with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has reportedly survived an assassination attempt in Abuja.
According to a report by Vanguard, military sources disclosed that Yarima was trailed on Sunday evening by unidentified men dressed in black and riding 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, noticing the surveillance, executed what sources described as a “strategic maneuver,” successfully evading the suspected assailants. The incident reportedly occurred around 6:30 p.m.
Military insiders confirmed that the matter is under investigation and is being treated with “the seriousness it deserves.” They added that further details are being withheld to avoid compromising the process.
