The Academy Public Relations Officer, Maj. Bashir Jajira, made the clarification in a statement issued on Monday in Kaduna.

He said the Nigerian Defence Academy is a Military Training Institution and not an Investigative Security Agency.

“The general public is hereby advised to disregard this misinformation and refer to relevant Investigative Security Agencies for clarification.
