NDA has denied arresting Air Force Officer Torsabo Solomon.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Nigerian Defence Academy has denied arresting one sergeant Torsabo Solomon over his involvement in the security breach at the military University, Kaduna State, North West Nigeria.
The university in Kaduna was hit by a surprise attack in August when two officers were killed and one kidnapped and eventually released.
A section of the Media (Gatekeepers News not included) had reported that an Air force officer has been arrested in Yola, Adamawa State, North East Nigeria, over the attack on Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) Kaduna in August.
It was reported that the officer, Sergeant Torsabo Solomon, was picked up on Monday and flown to Kaduna for further investigations.
NDA in a statement by Major Bashir Mohammed Jajira said that the named person is not in the Academy’s custody.
The statement read, “The attention of the Nigerian Defence Academy has been drawn to a viral publication on social media regarding the arrest of one Sgt Torsabo Solomon for his involvement on the security breach in Nigerian Defence Academy and was conveyed to the Academy for investigation.
“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.
“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 Nigerian Defence Academy wishes to reassure the general public that the perpetrators of the security breach on the Nigerian Defence Academy architecture will sooner rather than later be apprehended.”
