Defence headquarters have issued a statement regarding the attack, stating that erring officers will be court marshalled.
The terrorists were said to have dressed in military camouflage, beat the guards and headed for the officers’ quarters of the institution.
Incidentally, the military institution is opposite the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka where 39 students were abducted by bandits on March 11, 2021. The bandits demanded N500 million a few days after the abduction.
