Lieutenant A.M. Yerima, the Nigerian Navy officer who became a national figure for his respectful confrontation with Minister Nyesom Wike over a land dispute in Abuja, has officially tied the knot in Kaduna.
The wedding video quickly went viral on social media, showing Lieutenant Yerima and his wife at his in-laws’ home after the ceremony. In the clip, the couple is seated with an elderly woman between them.
