If the reports are true — that Lt. Yerima was trailed by unmarked cars and almost assassinated — then this is not just a personal danger. This might be a signal: someone is testing power, probing weaknesses, or planning a more sinister move.
When a high-ranking military officer becomes a target, it’s not a normal crime — it’s a warning. And that warning may be echoing through the corridors of power.
The Risk of Power Struggles
In Nigeria, political tension + military influence = a risky mix.
If there’s an assassination attempt against a senior naval officer, the implications are massive:
Who ordered it? Is this internal military conflict?
Is this tied to a plot to reshape power?
Does someone want a showdown between the presidency and the military?
This isn’t just about Yerima — it’s about who controls the army, who decides loyalty, and who makes the real power moves behind closed doors.
2. Tinubu’s Vulnerability
President Tinubu should be very cautious.
If trust is fracturing between the government and the military:
It could spark a coup attempt or open sabotage.
It could undermine his legitimacy.
It could trigger dangerous instability — not just for him, but for Nigeria.
He needs to act — fast. Silence or delay could be exactly what his opponents are betting on.
The People’s Stake
We are not mere spectators.
When military leaders become targets, the people bear the cost.
Civil unrest, fear, and chaos don’t stay in palaces — they spread to the markets, the ghettos, the schools.
Nigerians must demand clarity:
What happened?
Who is behind the attack?
What does the government plan to do to protect its own men (and, by extension, protect us.
A leader rising from the people (like Yerima is seen to be) should be protected, not hunted.
Because when someone earns the love of the masses and the respect of the military, they become more than a man — they become a threat to vested interests.
This isn’t just politics.
This is a test of Nigeria’s soul.
If we survive this, we must ask:
