He asserted that every security architecture around the world is susceptible to breaches, calling for the review of the NDA security protocol.
According to him: “It was an unfortunate incident. We lost two of our very brave officers. Every security architecture is susceptible to breaches; it is unfortunate that that of the NDA was breached.

He added that the inquiry board will also sanction any personnel found culpable in the attack and also preventing a future occurrence.
He also said: “Let me use this opportunity to reiterate that the NDA authorities, acting on the directive of the Chief of Defence Staff, have constituted a board of enquiry to ascertain the remote and immediate cause(s) of the breach of security with a view to sanctioning any personnel found culpable and also preventing a future occurrence.”
