The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has debunked the viral social media post that he is driving a bullet proof car in Abuja.

Speaking to journalists after touring the Abuja Light Rail facility, Wike openly showed his official car to the media and asked the pressmen to confirm if his official car was bullet proof.

Wike explained that when he resumed office, the Permanent Secretary told him that there was official vehicles for him and that is what he is using, not a bullet proof vehicle.

“I have no bullet proof vehicle, check the car I am using, you can confirm, ordinarily I wouldn’t bother, but you can confirm. When I came, the Permanent Secretary said there are vehicles for me and that’s what am using,” the minister said.

In the viral social media post, Wike was accused of using a N300 million bullet proof vehicle on assumption of office as FCT Minister.
