President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the families of the soldiers who loss their lives during the bandits attack in the Nigerian Defense Academy.
In a statement released on Wednesday by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the president said, the attack launched on the facility of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA)on Tuesday will not dampen the morale of the Armed Forces but will only accelerate their determination to make a decisive end of criminality.
Buhari noted 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 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.”
President Buhari vowed that the deceased would not die in vain, stating that, “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 the military and and urged those playing hateful politics with the dastardly act to desist.
