The Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, in a swift riposte on Monday night was emphatic in its rebuttal of a report that Sergeant Torsabo Solomon was in its custody as part of investigations into a recent security breach.
NDA’s spokesperson, Major Bashir Muhammee Jajira, in his reaction to the viral report that centred on the alleged arrest of a suspect, said the Academy was a military training institution not an investigative agency.
He declared that the said officer had no connection with the academy.
Read the statement entitled: “RE: ARREST OF SERGEANT TORSABO SOLOMON”: “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 in 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.”
