Bandits have invaded the Afaka barracks of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, killing a naval officer.

The bandits were also said to have also kidnapped two majors, Daily Trust reports.

A reliable source within the barracks told journalists that security had been beefed up within and around the barracks to stop the bandits from escaping with the officers.

“It was a terrible experience, and the bandits took advantage of the time when most people had gone to bed to attack the barracks.”

“Right now, the whole barracks is under lock and key, and security has been beefed up so that the bandits cannot leave the barracks because it is believed that they are still within,” the source said.

One of the injured officers in the attack is currently being treated at a hospital within the barracks.

However, the source said that there are fears that the bandits may decide to kill the officers in a bid to escape.
