Lere Olayinka has revealed how naval officer Lt. Yerima was stopped by the police while driving an unregistered vehicle in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT.

MyNigeria reported that Yerima recently got involved in a confrontation with Olayinka's boss, the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, over a disputed land in Abuja.

On Sunday, reports (not by MyNigeria) surfaced that Yerima escaped an assassination attempt.

However, the spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, debunked the claim, urging the public to disregard it.

Meanwhile, in a post on X, Wike's aide revealed that what Yerima claimed was an assassination attempt was actually a stop-and-search involving the police and Yerima, who was driving an unregistered vehicle.

Olayinka said, "You were driving a car without PLATE NUMBER. The car was TINTED. At Police Checkpoint, you were stopped.
You were asked to wind down, YOU REFUSED. After you eventually wind down, you were asked to identify yourself, YOU REFUSED.
Instead, you were calling other Naval Officers while insulting the Policemen on official duty.

"The Policemen didn't allow you to go until your colleagues came and identify you. You left and sold the story of escaping assassination. So the Policemen who kept you waiting until your colleagues came to identify you were the ones who wanted to assassinate you?

Or was it part of an ORDER for you to use UNREGISTERED CAR and refused to identify yourself when asked to do so by the Police Like I said earlier, when you are being hailed too much by Social Media people..."
