The Inspector‑General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun has announced a formal investigation into the recent confrontation between Nyesom Wike — the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory — and officers of the Nigerian Navy, following a land‑dispute in Abuja. Egbetokun said he was not present during the incident, but has ordered that police examine the matter thoroughly and promised the findings will be made public.

According to reports, the clash occurred when Wike and land‑control officials attempted to access a plot said to belong to a former navy chief — a move that was blocked by naval personnel. The stand‑off escalated, and the exchange between the minister and the officers was captured on video, sparking nationwide debate over civil‑military boundaries and land‑use law.

The IGP’s decision to probe is seen as a bid to restore order and clarify chain‑of‑command issues, while reinforcing that irrespective of rank or background, adherence to law and institutional process remains mandatory.
