President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, August 25, 2021 said that the attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) on Tuesday, August 24, 2021 rather than throw a dampener into the morale of our Armed Forces as it is intended to, will buoy their determination to make a decisive end of criminality in the Country.
President 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 President in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina, said “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 further noted that the attack, which led to the loss of lives, came when the military had put insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, and other criminals on the retreat.
The President added that 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.
While commiserating with the families of those who died during the incident, asking God to comfort them, and assured them that the deceased would not die in vain, the President noted 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.
