The Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, has condemned the torturing of a civilian by some of its cadets on a trending video, saying it will probe the physical assault.

The video which went viral, showed some cadets in 2014 torturing a man dressed in a blue and white striped shirt who allegedly complemented the looks of a female officer.

The female cadet, responding to the complement, said “Am I beautiful? How beautiful am I? Bastard!
“Idiot! Describe me. He said I’m beautiful, am I Angelina Jolie? am I not like Beyonce?” the female cadet screamed as she planted slaps on the civilian and stepped on him with her jungle boots.

However, the civilian, who was already bleeding, kept mute and did not respond to her questions which saw him being mercilessly tortured without pity.

The cadet re-echoed, “This bastard is not responding. “Are you a bastard? You have emotions. See this idiot. Am I beautiful? What is beautiful about me?”

But responding to the controversy generated by the video that has been greeted with wide condemnation, the NDA said that investigation into the incident is already in progress.

It said that as a responsible organization, it will not tolerate such unruly and holistic treatment being meted on Nigerians, an act the organization condemned.
“The attention of The Nigerian Defence Academy has been drawn to a trending video showing Cadets beating some persons,” it said in a statement.

“NDA as a responsible institution saddled with task of producing future military leaders will not in anyway tolerate such unruly and flagrant mistreatment of Nigerians".

“Please note that NDA is investigating the incident. Preliminary investigation has confirmed the incident to have occurred in 2014 somewhere in Lagos while the Cadets were on break.
“The NDA under current leadership has addressed most disciplinary loopholes. Further investigation is continuing. Please assist and circulate,” the NDA added.
