Dare-devil bandits have reportedly attacked Afaka barracks of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna State, killing two officers, while one officer was kidnapped in the process.
Daily Trust reported that the incident occurred around 1 am on Tuesday.
Some of the attackers are believed to be inside the academy with the abducted officer.
A reliable source within the barracks however said security had been beefed up within and around the barracks to stop the bandits from escaping with the officers.
The source said that there fears that the bandits may decide to kill the officers in a bid to escape.
One of the officers who was injured in the attack is currently being treated at a hospital within the barracks.
“It was a terrible experience; the bandits took advantage of the time when most people had gone to bed to attack the barracks.
“Right now, the whole barracks is under lock and key and security has been beefed up so that the bandits cannot leave the barracks because it is believed that they are still within,” the source said.
The Academy Public Relations Officer, Major Bashir Jajira, did not respond to calls put across.
