NDA denies arrest of its attack mastermind

The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has refuted allegations that the mastermind of the attack on its premises had been apprehended.

As previously reported, an Air Force member, Torsabo Solomon, was arrested in connection with the academy’s recent attack.

In a statement posted Monday night, November 8, the academy’s spokesperson, Bashir Jajira, stated that the sergeant is not in the academy’s custody and has no link to the attack.

Despite the fact that the culprits of the heinous deed have yet to be apprehended, Jajira stated that all hands are on deck to bring them to justice.

 The statement read;  The attention of the Nigerian Defence Academy has been drawn to a viral publication on social media regarding the arrest of one Sgt Torsabo Solomon for his involvement in the security breach in Nigerian Defence Academy and was conveyed to the Academy for investigation.

This is to inform the general public that the above named person is not in the Nigerian Defence Academy’s custody as alleged and has no connection with the Academy.
