He is not happy about it. It is now left for the military authorities to thoroughly investigate this and bring out what happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many scenarios are being painted though. Could this be truly a criminal attempt to violate the sanctity of that military institution? Was this an opportunistic crime? Is it political? Does somebody want to embarrass the government by doing this?<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\u201cWe are coming from major successes. Look at how Boko Haram is unravelling in the north; they surrendered. All of the victories that have been recorded even in the north-west \u2014 these bandits are being taken out in large numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, in a climate \u2014 political climate \u2014 in which people seek to make political capital out of this unfortunate incident, you don\u2019t rule in anything, you don\u2019t rule out anything. We hope investiga-tions will fully reveal what happened and why it happened.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu says the recent attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, might be a ploy to embarrass the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
