Bandits

Bandits attacked the Nigerian Defence Academy, Nigeria’s foremost military university in Kaduna, on Tuesday killing two officers and abducting one other.

They were said to have invaded the permanent site of the institution located along Airport Road, Afaka, in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State around 1.00am.

A source said that the hoodlums, who were dressed in military camouflage, beat the guards and headed for the officers’ quarters of the institution.

Meanwhile, security operatives are already trailing the gunmen.

The Nigerian Defence Academy confirmed the attack in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Maj. Bashir Jajira.

The statement read, “The security architecture of the Nigerian Defence Academy was compromised early this morning by unknown gunmen who gained access into the residential area within the Academy in Afaka.

“During the unfortunate incident, we lost two personnel and one was abducted.

“The Academy in collaboration with the 1Division Nigerian Army and Air Training Command as well as other security agencies in Kaduna state has commenced pursuit of the unknown gunmen within the general area with a view to tracking them and rescue the abducted personnel.

“The NDA community and Cadets are safe in the Academy. We assure the general public that these unknown gunmen would soon be apprehended and the abducted personnel rescued.”
