Northern elders have attributed Tuesday’s morning attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, Kaduna, by bandits leaving two military officers dead and an officer abducted, to failure of Nigeria’s intelligence network.
Recall that the Nigerian Army had earlier confirmed the killing of two of its officers and abduction of a senior officer at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), in Afaka, Kaduna State.

Witnesses said the bandits came in a large number in the early hours of Tuesday, adding that apart from the officers killed and kidnapped, some others sustained gunshot injuries and are currently receiving treatment at the NDA hospital.

The organisation, which said the development was an indication that no Nigerian no matter his or her status was safe in the country, therefore, demanded immediate review of security architecture.

According to the group, the entire security formations were to be blamed.



The group under the aegis of Coalition of Northern Elders for Peace and Development (CNEPD), in the statement by its national coordinator, Engr. Zana Goni, while blaming President Muhammadu Buhari for leaving Monguno behind at the time he replaced service chiefs, however, expressed unflinching support to the president and his party, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC

Noting that their position was based on patriotism to the country, the elders insisted that it was time for the president to do away with Monguno following the worsening insecurity in the country.



The deteriorating security situation, according to the Coalition, is a sign that Monguno, who manages the nation’s security situation was not on top of his game.

The statement berated stakeholders in the region over what the group described as “their long silence in the face of unbearable criminal acts by armed herdsmen across the country ‘thereby giving a bad image of the region.”

“We find it once more expedient to comment on the worsening security situation in the country, especially the latest attack on a military formation, the Nigerian Defence Academy, which is the training institute of military personnel.



“We woke up to the sad news of the attack on the NDA, leaving two officers killed and another abducted by bandits with heavy hearts. If it was not the confirmation of this unbelievable action by the Academy’s spokesperson, Bashir Jajira, we would have still been in doubt.

“The fact that a fortified military institute could be so easily invaded by armed militias without maximum resistance has left us with the conclusion that no part of this country and no citizen, no matter his or status is safe again.

How something way no dey exist before wan take collapse. Btw,since yesterday I've been looking for the nonsense griller's comments on these NDA attack threads but I never see any. Wetin happen?

Nothing like bandits attacking NDA. This is pure reprisal and assassination against Plateau State and Christian Officers by Fulani officers.


A thorough investigation will prove me right.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Intelligence.

Although our Intelligence Agencies are made up of Moi-moi and akamu intelligence.

Nigerians have now seen how useless and worthless are security apparatus have become in the hands of Northern security chiefs.
Never again will we allow quota system to replace merit!
Never again will we allow fulanis have a say in our national security!!
Never again will allow Fulanis rule Nigeria again!!! There have nothing to offer but tears, pains and deaths
