Sgt Solomon after his arrest by the military; and while being flown away for further investigation
The Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, has denied reports of any connection with the arrest of one Sgt Torsabo Solomon for his involvement in the security breach in Nigerian Defence Academy and his conveyance to the Academy for investigation.
According to Major Bashir Muhammed Jajira, Academy Public Relations Officer, Sgt Solomon, “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.”
He said the Nigerian Defence Academy was still working to unravel the perpetrators of the security breach on the Nigerian Defence Academy architecture and they will sooner rather than later be apprehended.
