NDA: How Loose Barbed wire Provided Access For Bandits — Report

A check by a newspaper, Daily Trust, has suggested the bandits that invaded the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) in Kaduna earlier in the week may have gained access into the barrack through a loosed barbed wire fence.

Recall Green White Green (GWG) had earlier reported that invaded the Afaka barracks of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, killing two naval officers and kidnapped a Major.

A reliable source within the barracks who spoke on the development said; “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.

A leaked memo obtained by Daily Trust revealed that the bandits gained access when they breached the barbwire fence of the academy along the Kaduna International Airport road in Afaka.

The memo read, “Further assessment revealed that the bandit’s escape route leads across the airport road to an open farm/bush area near Gidan Gado village in Afaka. The bandits are believed to have escaped either to Buruku and Maguzawa axis or the Riyawa axis in Igabi which is known as notorious bandits’ hideouts.

“Consequently, there is need for a robust clearance operation along those areas. Although there is a frantic joint effort by troops and other security forces in the state with a view to rescuing the kidnapped officer.

“It is strongly suggested that the security arrangements in NDA need total overhauling, this is with a view to averting future recurrence as monitoring continues,” the memo reads.
