 The House of Representatives' Committee on Defense on Tuesday received a delegation from the Defense Academy to brief it on the security bridge that took place at the Nigerian Defense Academy at Faka on 24 August. The commandant general of the Defense Academy, Major General Ibrahim Yusuf, on Monday told the House that concerted efforts are ongoing to ensure the release of the abducted soldier. Recall that suspected bandits had attacked the NDA in Cardona Academy killing two officers while asking for a closed door session. The chairman of the committee, Baba Jimmy Benson, promised to work with the Academy to find a lasting solution to the problems. The ongoing efforts that we are making to recover the abducted officer and also the measures that the Academy is currently placing to ensure that this does not ever occur again. Only on Saturday I attended the burial of Lieutenant Commander Awolo who also died as a result of that unfortunate incident. The efforts are making that this occurrence shall never happen again. I'm also assured by his contribution and the measures they've put into place that this will never happen again. It's an unfortunate incident that happened but Nigerians should rest assured that NDA is safe and other military formations along that area has been deally fortified. We're still expecting further reports from them. We'll come up with some other documents and further and better particulars so that we can also see a reassess.
