Eight days after gunmen attacked the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, the search for Major Datong is still on.
He was kidnapped by unknown gunmen, who murdered two officers in the academy’s premises on August 21.
According to the Nation Newspaper, NDA authorities which hitherto remained silent on the fate of the abductee, said in a statement yesterday that they had received encouragement from the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt-General Faruk Yahaya in their efforts to ensure the safe return of the officer.
Its Public Relations Officer, Major Bashir Jajira, said Gen. Yahaya also approved the deployment of six “gun trucks and other operational enablers” in the institution for the enhancement of its security.
The statement partly reads: “The COAS paid a visit to the NDA on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 over the recent security breach in the Academy.
“In his welcome address, the NDA Commandant, Maj.-Gen. I. M Yusuf, briefed the COAS on the security breach in the Academy on August 24, 2021.
“He also expressed his appreciation to the COAS for his encouragement and support for the academy before and after the incident, particularly the efforts being made to ensure the safe return of the abducted officer.
“He particularly thanked the COAS for upgrading the Academy’s demonstration battalion to a full-fledged battalion, provision of six gun trucks to the Academy, posting in of more instructors and staff members, and the provision of other numerous operational enablers to enhance the security of the academy and its environs.
“The commandant informed the COAS that these support measures have really boosted the morale of the staff members and the security of the academy.
“The commandant also briefed the COAS on the new security measures being taken in collaboration with 1 Division Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Air Force and other security agencies in Kaduna State to prevent any future security breach in the academy.

I am not surprised about such a news.... Nigerian's army should be ready anytime and any day for unexpect attackers....

We need to be very careful with it

All these are calculated attempt. Because he is a Christian,and next in rank to become COAS
It wasn't done without plan. Una think say we no no?
I only commend the Christian major in the hand of God

I recall reading that they found his corpse the day after...

But you can find Igboho and Kanu, it's obvious priorities are different.
