President Muhammadu Buhari says the attack launched on the facility of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna on Tuesday would not stop his determination to end criminalities in the country.
Daily Trust had reported that bandits invaded the Afaka barracks of the NDA, killing two military officers. The assailants also kidnapped a senior officer.
President Buhari, in a statement issued Wednesday by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, noted that the attack came at a time the military had put insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, and other types of criminals on the retreat.
The President said the “heinous act” would accelerate the “total uprooting of evil” in the polity which members of the Armed Forces were resolved to accomplish in the shortest possible time.
He commiserated with the families who lost their loved ones and prayed to God to comfort them.
President Buhari, however, vowed that the deceased would not die in vain as the act would have consequences that would eventually clean the country of vermin, and emancipate the polity from “deliberate, targeted and contrived atrocious acts.”
The President thanked all Nigerians who valued and appreciated the efforts of the military and urged those playing “hateful politics” with the “dastardly act” to desist.
He said that rather than recriminations, this was the time for all patriots and people of goodwill to support and encourage those who were in the vanguard of the battle against wickedness in the land.
