Personnel monitoring
closed-circuit television (CCTV) at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) were
reportedly asleep when bandits attacked the premises on Tuesday.
Two
officers were killed in the attack, and one other officer abducted.
TheCable quoting sources said the bandits sneaked in through a part of the facility that had no
fence.
Another source who spoke with
TheCable said “it was in the middle of the night, and the personnel that were
meant to be monitoring the CCTV had slept off.”
“They could have put everyone on
alert, and avert the attack.”
The academy
authorities would court martial some soldiers for failing to secure the area.
Bashir Muhd Jajira, spokesperson
of the academy, in a statement also explained how the security architecture was
compromised at the institution.
“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,” he said.
“The Academy in collaboration
with the 1Division Nigerian Army and Air Training Command as well as other
security agencies in Kaduna state has since 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 this unknown gunmen
would soon be apprehended and the abducted personnel rescued.”
