"Why We Can't Expel Cadets Who Tortured Man For Complimenting Female Officer" - NDA Commandant

Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, yesterday explained why it could not expel some cadets captured on video torturing a civilian for no just reason.Nigerians cried out in condemnation of the cadets led by a female, who were shown in a video clip, which went viral last month, dehumanizing a young man later identified as Amari Sunday, a staff of Abuja Park “N” Pay, for allegedly commending the beauty of one of the female cadets. Sunday later, in an interview with channels television, said the real reason why he was tortured was because he wasn't fast enough when one of the unruly cadets had demanded his attention.


While majority of Nigerians called for the expulsion of the cadets, the Commandant of the elite Nigerian military training institution, Major General Mohammed Ibrahim,said they could not be expelled because the timeto prosecute them had lapsed.

According to the NDA Commandant, the time frame for expelling any cadet forwrongdoing must not exceed six monthsfrom the date the alleged offence was committed.
