Here is a polished and cohesive rewrite of the passage:
Nigerian Navy officer Lt. A.M. Yarima, who was recently involved in a confrontation with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, reportedly escaped an assassination attempt at about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 16.
According to Vanguard, military sources said Yarima was trailed by unidentified men dressed in black and riding in two unmarked Hilux vans without number plates. The vehicles allegedly followed him from the NIPCO Filling Station off the Line Expressway to Gado Nasco Way.
Sensing he was being followed, Yarima reportedly carried out a “strategic maneuver,” successfully shaking off the suspected assailants. The source noted that the incident is currently under investigation and is being treated with “the seriousness it deserves.”
The source added that additional details are being withheld so as not to compromise the ongoing investigation.
This development comes just days after Lt. Yarima, while on duty alongside other security personnel, was involved in a tense confrontation with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over a disputed land site in the Gaduwa District.
