Bandit Attack On NDA Was a Set up to Embarrass President Buhari - Presidency

President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, has claimed the recent attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), might be a ploy to embarrass his principal.

Suspected bandits attacked the NDA facility in Kaduna early hours of Tuesday.

It led to the death of two officers, while one was abducted by the gunmen.

Shehu, in an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday night, said the presidency expects the military to thoroughly investigate and disclose what happened.

He further claimed that the incident might be politically-motivated and those behind it want to embarrass Buhari’s administration, amid the “major successes” achieved by the military in the fight against insurgency and banditry.

“The president has denounced it. He is not happy about it. It is now left for the military authorities to thoroughly investigate this and bring out what happened.

“So 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?

“We 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 — these bandits are being taken out in large numbers.

“So, in a climate — political climate — in which people seek to make political capital out of this unfortunate incident, you don’t rule in anything, you don’t rule out anything,” he said.

Lying old men everywhere, ruling the country with lies.  This is exactly what I expect to hear from you and your Principal will see this and still clap for you.

You reason before you talk and not the other way round. Set up by whom? By the same people you pay to murder innocent people all over Nigeria. By the same people you pay ransom when they kidnap top government officials only, by the same people you grant impunity, and amnesty under false pretense of repentant bandits. If bandits can attack the Nigerian Defence Academy a military academy of all places in Nigeria, that basically shows that Nigeria is completely done. Meaning, your Aso Rock has Zero Security. It's a shame.
