Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA has been contacted by the terrorists dubbed bandits to make a demand of Two Hundred Million Naira (N200m) ransom for the abducted Officer, Major Stephen Dantong.
Yesterday, the terrorists stormed the NDA barracks at Afaka, Kaduna State where they abducted Major Dantong and killed two soldiers, whose identity Pointblanknews.com gathered to be Lieutenant Commodore Wulah and Flight Lieutenant Okoronkwo.
In the report, the gunmen operated for hours and left without any hindrance. After they left, soldiers in the barracks made efforts to trail them but failed.
“They couldn’t kill even one of them,” an NDA source lamented to our correspondent.
“They searched everywhere in the bush but couldn’t find them. They had fled away with their motorbikes.
“They have called to ask for N200million to free the Major,” the source also said.
“The attack was ridiculous. They came, teased us and left. Even the helicopter hovering in the bush could not track them.”
After the attack, Bashir Muhd Jajira, spokesman of the NDA in Kaduna, said the security architecture of the NDA was compromised by unknown gunmen who gained access into the residential area within the Academy in Afaka.
“During the unfortunate incident, we lost two personnel and one was abducted,” he said.
“The Academy, in collaboration with the 1Division Nigerian Army and Air Training Command as well as other security agencies in Kaduna State, has since commenced pursuit of the unknown gunmen within the general area with a view to tracking them and rescuing the abducted personnel.”
