Attack On NDA Won’t Dampen Military’s Resolve — Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari said the attack on the Nigerian
Defense Academy (NDA) by gunmen would rather hasten the process of
ridding the country of all sorts of criminal elements.

The President, who reacted to Tuesday’s attack on the NDA’s
permanent facility in Afaka, Kaduna State during which some
personnel serving within the institution were killed, however,
vowed that the victims of the attack would not die in vain.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari affirmed the consequences of the
attack would finally result in the wiping out of criminalities in
the country.

“The attack launched on the facility of the Nigerian Defence
Academy (NDA) on Tuesday, 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 Muhammadu Buhari has said.

“Noting 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 says 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.

“Commiserating with the families who lost their loved ones, and
praying God to comfort them, President Buhari vowed that the
deceased would not die in vain, as 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.

“The President thanks all Nigerians who value and appreciate the
efforts of our military, and urges those playing hateful politics
with the dastardly act to desist, noting that rather than
recriminations, this is the time for all patriots and people of
goodwill to support and encourage those who are in the vanguard of
the battle against wickedness in the land,” the statement said.
