President Muhammadu Buhari has emphasised that the recent attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, would rather boost the determination of the Armed Forces to secure the territorial integrity of the nation.
He noted that the attack, which led to loss of lives, came at a time that the military had put insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, and other common criminals on the retreat.
The President said the heinous action would accelerate the total uprooting of evil in the polity, which members of the Armed Forces are solidly resolved to accomplish in the shortest possible time.
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.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, says the President appreciates Nigerians, who value and recognise efforts of the military, and urges those playing hateful politics with the dastardly act to desist.
It says President Buhari notes that rather than recriminations, patriots and people of goodwill should support and encourage those in the vanguard of the battle against wickedness in the land.
