The Nigerian Defence
Academy (NDA) has reacted to the viral video showing cadets beating up a man
for allegedly complimenting on the looks of a female officer. The NDA condemned
the bizarre act saying that it will investigate the incident adding that as a
responsible organization, it will take measure to get to the root of the issue.
Statement from the NDA
read in part: “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 occured 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.”
According to the
conversation in the video, the young man told the female officer that she’s
beautiful and he was dealt with numerous slaps while on his knees. The female
officer kept slapping him saying: ‘Am I beautiful?’ ‘Do I look like Beyonce?’
‘What is beautiful about me?’ and it goes on and on till the young man started
bleeding.

This is to show how low down the NDA is by recruiting nonentities to defend our country. I sincerely hope that this female cadet is disrobed from her profession. What a shame! This is where u expect the civil right leader in the country to intervene for violating the young man's right. I am sure this lady would go free when she satisfies her immediate boss at the barrack.
