President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the families of the three officers who lost their lives in the attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy(NDA) on Tuesday.
According to the President, the attack will not in anyway dampen the morale of the Armed Forces but rather will strengthen their determination to put a decisive end to criminality in the country.
In a statement by his special media aide Femi Adesina on Wednesday, President Buhari noted that the attack, which led to the loss of lives, came when the military had put insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, and other criminals on the retreat.
The President noted the degenerate act would have consequences that will eventually clean the country of vermin and emancipate the polity from deliberate, targeted, and contrived atrocious acts
Commiserating with the families who lost their loved ones, and praying God to comfort them, President Buhari vowed that the deceased would not die in vain.
The President thanked all Nigerians who value and appreciate the efforts of the military while urging those playing hateful politics with the dastardly act to desist.
“Rather than recriminations, this is the time for all patriots and people of goodwill to support and encourage those who are in the vanguard of the battle against wickedness in the land”.
