| 2021-09-19 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Nigerian troops have rescued an army officer kidnapped last month from an elite military academy in the restive northwest, the army said late Friday. An armed gang stormed the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA), the country’s heavily guarded military academy in the city of Kaduna on August 24, killing two officers and abducting another, in a daring attack that shocked the authorities. Northwest and central Nigeria have been plagued by criminal gangs known locally as bandidos who raid villages, kidnapping and killing residents, stealing cattle and burning homes after looting them. |
