According to a statement by the Academy, preliminary investigation so
far shows that the incident happened somewhere in Lagos in 2014. The
statement reads;
"The attention of The Nigerian Defence Academy has been drawn to a
trending video showing Cadets beating some persons. 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. 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. The NDA under current
leadership has addressed most disciplinary loopholes. Further
investigation is continuing. Please assist and circulate.
Thanks.
Nigerian Defence Academy".
