Gunmen breached the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna on Tuesday, killing two military officers and abducting one.
Lieutenant Commander Wulah and Flight Lieutenant Okoronkwo were shot dead while Major Stephen Datong was taken captive.
Some reports say the gunmen have demanded N200million to release Datong.
The gunmen, who were dressed in military camouflage, invaded the NDA around 1.00am.
In a statement confirming the attack, the NDA revealed that it is on the trail of the gunmen who compromised its security architecture.
The statement signed by Bashir Jajira read, “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. During the unfortunate incident, we lost two personnel and one was abducted.
“The Academy in collaboration with the 1Division Nigerian Army and Air Training Command as well as other security agencies in Kaduna state has since commenced pursuit of the unknown gunmen within the general area with a view to tracking them and rescue the abducted personnel.
“The NDA community and Cadets are safe in the Academy. We assure the general public that these unknown gunmen would soon be apprehended and the abducted personnel rescued.”
