KADUNA – Bandits have attacked the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in Kaduna killing two officers.
The bandits were said to have gained entrance into the academy around 1 a.m on Tuesday.
According to TheCable, Military sources said two officers were killed and while two others were abducted in the attack.
”On 24 August 21, at about 0125hrs, bandits in their large numbers attacked NDA Afaka and kidnapped 1 Offr; Maj Datong while Lt Cdr Wulah and Flt Lt CM Okoronwo were shot dead. 2Lt Onah sustained gunshot injury and currently receiving treatment at their own hospital in NDA,” a source said.
Another source claimed that “They came in, silently, through the part of the academy where we have barbed wire and not properly fenced. Unfortunately, there were no soldiers on guard duty at that end. So, the bandits sneaked in, through to where the officers were and got three of them.
“It was when they shot one of the officers that everybody woke up, and before we knew it they had made their way outside and fled.”
“The attack is a big slap on our face. How could we have allowed that? They already knew there was no guard on duty and came in through that axis.”
Onyema Nwachukwu, the army spokesperson, did not immediately respond to a message seeking his comment on the incident.
In the last few months, Kaduna state and other parts of the northwest have been attacked several times including kidnapping of students by bandits.
