Yesterday, at the matriculation ceremony of 466 officer cadets of the 67th Regular Course, Maj.-Gen. Ibrahim noted that the incident in question took place 2 years ago when the cadets were first termers and had just been in the academy for only three months.
He said they could not be expelled because the time to prosecute them had lapsed. According to the NDA Commandant, the time frame for expelling any cadet for wrongdoing must not exceed 6 months from the date the alleged offence was committed….. sound reason!….
