Meanwhile, in the opinion of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), the attack on the NDA by bandits is a national disgrace.

The northern group which lamented over the worsening insecurity menace in Nigeria stated that it is a shame that ordinary street bandits could get their way into the NDA and even attack officers.

The spokesman of the forum, Emmanuel Yawe, called on security agencies to make sure the kidnapped operative is rescued because he and his colleagues have spent their days serving their country.
