Lieutenant A.M. Yerima, the Nigerian Navy officer who became popular after his encounter with FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike has married his heartthrob in Kaduna.
The wedding video began circulating online this week, showing Yerima seated beside his bride during a traditional ceremony at her family home.
An elderly woman, believed to be a relative of the bride, sat between the couple in the usual northern setting.
Yerima gained nationwide attention when a clip of him engaging the FCT Minister over a land matter in Abuja went viral.
Many who watched the video felt he handled the situation with courage and control.
Recall that reports emerged two weeks ago that an assassination attempt was made on Yerima following his clash with FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
However, the spokesperson for the command, SP Josephine Adeh dismissed the claim that no incident was reported or recorded anywhere.
Reacting, in another statement, FCT police clarified that it was a normal stop-and-search process and not the assassination attempt as reported in the media.
Part of the police second statement read that: “The attention of FCT Police Command has been drawn to publications by an Instagram blogger, “Mazitundeednut,” alleging an attack on one Lt. Ahmed Yerima at NNPC junction in Kubwa area of the FCT. FCT Police Command wishes to state that these publications are false and grossly misleading.
