ATTACK ON NDA: NIGERIA DRIFTING ON THE PATH OF AFGHANISTAN
Unknown gunmen liberty to attack the NDA Barracks underscores how deep the nation's security architecture has broken down.
We believe it couldn't have degenerated so bad without the infiltration of the military by terrorist and betrayers.
Unless the narrative is urgently reversed, we're heading on the path of Afghanistan.
Federal Government and Nigeria's military can make excuses, but Tuesday invasion of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) Barracks by hoodlums with impunity in Kaduna exposes how deep the country is drifting into a failed state.
When it happened in past Mobile Police Training Camp in Gwoza, Bornu State was overran by Boko Haram, the mockery was the Nigeria Mobile Police were not strong enough to withstand the terrorists that are more sophisticated with firepower.
In this instance, armed men were embolden in premeditated fatal invasion of the barracks of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA), taking among three casualties, a young Army Major who was found dead two hours after being abducted."
We are talking about an attack, of all places, in Kaduna, the operational headquarters of the nation's military with the presence of all strategic military manpower units. What are the excuses the authorities are flagging this time?
The Academy Public Relations Officer, Major Bashir Muhd Jajira, is rationalising that, “The security architecture of the Nigerian Defence Academy was compromised early this morning by unknown gunmen who gained access into the residential area within the Academy in Afaka.
“The Academy in collaboration with the Division of the Nigerian Army and Air Training Command as well as other security agencies in Kaduna state have since commenced pursuit of the unknown gunmen within the general area with a view to tracking them and rescue the abducted personnel."
Before that Academy Spokesman's guided response, a barrack's had narrated that, “It was a terrible experience. The bandits took advantage of the time when most people had gone to bed to attack the barracks."
It's such a big shame that like the police, our military has also been compromised into reactive force and no longer proactive. They wait till Boko Haram has done the damage before struggling to chase shadows after the deed is done. One source even noted that officers manning the barracks CCTV fell asleep when the gunmen invaded.
We now understand while the military has not been providing answers when Boko Haram troops audaciously ride in long convoy into civilian schools, enjoys hours of unchallenged liberty to abduct pupils or students and leave at their own pace before a compromised military will come out to stick to the narrative of excuses.
With the bandits demanding N200Million for an abducted Major, it is clear what the premeditated was all about, a high risk business to take hostage, victims with very high ransom value. Next time they will overrun the NDA classes in session and abduct military cadets, unchallenged.
In all the fears being expressed about the failed security architecture of the country, this incident remains most fearful signal that we're drifting on the path Afghanistan had followed. It shows the military is infiltrated by terrorists/goons working hand in hand with outside hoodlums/terrorists.
This is the complaint the rank and file of the military, particularly those who man the frontlines in Bornu and all the hotspots have been harping on. That, to sustain the conflict to continue enriching selves from the high security votes, the military high command is compromised and selling out those in the front lines to Boko Haram for slaughter.
The country has been taken over by jerks, including conniving military officers. The invasion of a military barracks by hoodlums/goons is fearful and unless government tackles the menace from it's roots, Nigeria is faced with a dangerous signal of a country sinking into doom.
