Ever since Lt. AM Yerima stood up to Mr Nyesom Wike, Minister of Federal Capital Territory and prevented him from accessing a disputed plot of land in Abuja on Tuesday, November 11, he has become a celebrity.

He has also inspired a social media frenzy and divided public opinion. While many Nigerians praise him for his demeanour and the calm composure he maintained throughout the encounter with the Minister, others vilify him for disrespecting a public officer who is also a serving minister.

Still, the young Nigerian soldier has inspired not just debates but also many AI-generated photos and videos. Many Nigerian ladies are currently crushing on him not just for the courage and bravery he displayed but also for his striking handsomeness.

And they have photoshopped images showing them either being proposed to by the young military officer or taking beautiful photos with him.

Here are some of the photoshopped images showing the ladies with Yerima.
