Just In, Nigerian Army Confirms Bandits Abduction And Killing Of Officers At NDA Kaduna.

The Afaka barracks of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) kaduna have been invaded by Bandits, killing some naval officers.

Two majors were alleged to have also kidnapped by the Bandits although Daily Trust cannot verify this information.

The attack on the barracks was said to have occurred, around 1am on Tuesday, and is likely they are still inside the academy.

A source within the barracks told our correspondent that security has been beefed up within and around the barracks to stop the bandits from escaping with the officers.

“It was a terrible experience, the bandits took advantage of the time when most people had gone to bed to attack the barracks.”

“Right now, the whole barracks is under lock and key and security has been beefed up so that the bandits would not leave the barracks… it is believed that they are still within,” the source said.

One of the officers who was injured in the attack is currently being treated at a hospital within the barracks.

The source said there are, however, fears that the bandits may decide to kill the officers in a bid to escape.

The Academy Public Relations Officer, Major Bashir Jajira, did not respond to calls.

More details soon…
