Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The arrest of Torsabo Solomon, the officer linked with the bandits\u2019 attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), has caused tension within the military.<\/p>\n

Solomon is being grilled by investigators probing the audacious assault on one of the most secured assets of Nigeria\u2019s Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

It is believed other military collaborators played a part in the security breach Defence Chief, Leo Irabor, called an embarrassment.<\/p>\n

The personnel, a member of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), is currently attached to the Air Force Comprehensive School in Yola.<\/p>\n

A NAF INTREP (Intelligence Report) indicated he was arrested Monday morning in the Adamawa capital.<\/p>\n

Solomon was initially flown to the Army Training Regiment (ATR) in Kaduna. It is unclear if the suspect is still there or moved to another location.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, an impeccable source told DAILY POST that the NAF BSG Commander in Yola has been removed.<\/p>\n

After news of Solomon\u2019s arrest, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) ordered the Base Support Group chief to vacate his seat and report to Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can confirm to you that media reports of the development cost the BSG his seat. He has been posted to Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DHQ is angry that a secret movement was exposed. The INTREP and photos were released by a soldier.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is an intelligence officer; I do not think his intention was to leak. The person(s) he sent the information to was probably careless\u201d, the source added.<\/p>\n

In a statement Monday night, NDA spokesman, Bashir Jajira said Solomon was not flown to the Academy as believed in some quarters.<\/p>\n

Jajira clarified that the NDA is \u201ca Military Training Institution and not an Investigative Security Agency\u201d.<\/p>\n

He advised the public to ignore inaccurate misinformation and \u201crefer to relevant Investigative Security Agencies for clarification\u201d.<\/p>\n

The NDA assured that all the perpetrators of the security breach in its Afaka campus on August 24 will be apprehended.<\/p>\n

The bandits killed Lt Commander Wulah and Flight Lt CM Okoronkwo; Second Lieutenant Onah was wounded. Major Christopher Datong was kidnapped and later released.<\/p>\n
