The attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) would boost, rather than dampen the morale of the armed forces to end criminality, President Muhamamdu Buhari has assured.
On Tuesday, bandits launched a daring attack on the premier military facility in Kaduna, killing two senior officers and abducting another.
Buhari, in a statement on Wednesday by his spokesperson, Femi Adesina, said the attack “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.
He 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.
Buhari 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.
