The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has said that Nigeria Air Force (NAF) official, Sgt Torsabo Solomon, reportedly arrested for his involvement on the security breach in the academy, “is not in our custody” and that the institution has no hand in his arrest.
The Academy Public Relations Officer, Maj. Bashir Jajira, made the clarification in a statement issued on Monday in Kaduna.
“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.
He said 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 NDA wishes to reassure the general public that the perpetrators of the security breach on the Nigerian Defence Academy architecture will soon be apprehended,”Jajira said. (Adapted from a NAN report)
