The Nigerian Defence Academy has denied arresting a Nigerian Air Force personnel, Sergeant Torsabo Solomon, in connection with the attack of the facility.
There had been reports on Monday that the air force arrested Torsabo Solomon, a sergeant, in connection with the attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) in Kaduna.
Two officers were killed and one other officer was abducted when the NDA was attacked by suspected bandits in August
However, the NDA in a statement on Monday night by Major Bashir Jajira said he was not in their custody.
The statement was titled, ‘RE: Arrest of sergeant Torsabo Solomon’.
It reads, “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 on 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.
“The Nigerian Defence Academy is a Military Training Institution and not an Investigative Security Agency. The general public is hereby advised to disregard this misinformation and refer to relevant Investigative Security Agencies for clarification.
“The Nigerian Defence Academy wishes to reassure the general public that the perpetrators of the security breach on the Nigerian Defence Academy architecture will sooner rather than later be apprehended.”
