President Muhammadu Buhari says the attack on the Nigerian
Defence Academy (NDA) in Kaduna will not discourage officers of the armed
forces in their fight against criminality.
Armed men said to be bandits invaded the academy in the
early hours of Tuesday, killing two officers and abducting one.
In a statement by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman,
Buhari said rather than dampen their morale, the incident will buoy them to put
an end to criminality.
According to the president, “the heinous action would
accelerate the total uprooting of evil in the polity”.
Buhari commiserated with the families of the deceased while
promising that the culprits will be apprehended and prosecuted.
He further warned those “playing hateful politics with the
dastardly act” to desist.
“The attack launched on the facility of the Nigerian Defence
Academy (NDA) on Tuesday, rather than throw a dampener into the morale of our
Armed Forces as it is intended to, will buoy their determination to make a
decisive end of criminality in the country, President Muhammadu Buhari has
said,” the statement reads.
“Noting that the attack, which led to loss of lives, came at
a time that the military had put insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, and other
types of criminals on the retreat, the President says the heinous action would
accelerate the total uprooting of evil in the polity, which members of the
Armed Forces are solidly resolved to accomplish in the shortest possible time.
“Commiserating with the families who lost their loved ones,
and praying God to comfort them, President Buhari vowed that the deceased would
not die in vain, as the degenerate act would have consequences that will
eventually clean the country of vermin, and emancipate the polity from
deliberate, targeted and contrived atrocious acts.
“The President thanks all Nigerians who value and appreciate
the efforts of our military, and urges those playing hateful politics with the
dastardly act to desist, noting that rather than recriminations, this is the
time for all patriots and people of goodwill to support and encourage those who
are in the vanguard of the battle against wickedness in the land.”
