Lieutenant Yerima, the naval officer who went viral after his tense standoff with Minister Nyesom Wike, is trending again, but this time for entirely different reasons.
A video shared by @northern_trends on Instagram shows Yerima in a car with a woman and a baby.
The brief clip has sent social media into overdrive, with Nigerians eager to know more about the officer’s personal life.
The video has sparked endless debates online. Some believe the woman could be his wife, while others think she might be a sister or relative.
The baby’s presence has only fueled more questions, is Yerima a father?
Yerima first became a household name after his confrontation with Minister Nyesom Wike over a property dispute in Abuja.
When Wike demanded authorization documents and insisted “no one is above the law,” Yerima calmly stood his ground, explaining his team was following orders and that the documents were with his superiors.
The exchange made him an instant internet sensation.
Social media users have been quick to share their thoughts:
“What if it’s his sister and her baby?” one user questioned.
Another commented: “Imagine calling a husband and father a fool. That minister really got what he deserved.”
