President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has said the attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy will sustain the confidence of the Armed Forces to end criminality in the country.

In a statement by his special media aide, FEMI ADESINA, President BUHARI noted that the attack, which led to the loss of lives, came when the military had put insurgents, bandits, kidnappers, and other criminals on the retreat.

The President added that the action would quicken the total uprooting of evil in the polity, which members of the Armed Forces are solidly resolved to accomplish in the shortest possible time.

He commiserated with the families of those who died during the incident, asking God to comfort them, and assured them that the deceased would not die in vain.
