Bandits have invaded the Afaka barracks of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, killing a naval officer and abducting two majors.
The bandits, who reportedly attacked the barracks around 1am on Tuesday, August 24, are said to still be inside the academy.
A source who spoke to Daily Trust reveals that security has been beefed up within and around the barracks to stop the bandits from escaping with the officers.
“It was a terrible experience, the bandits took advantage of the time when most people had gone to bed to attack the barracks. Right now, the whole barracks is under lock and key and security has been beefed up so that the bandits would not leave the barracks… it is believed that they are still within,” the source said.
The source said there are, however, fears that the bandits may decide to kill the officers in a bid to escape.
