About 400 Nigerian security personnel made up of
members of the Armed Forces, Police and
Department of State Services left Abuja Sunday
evening for Russia where they are to undergo
training as Special Forces to beef up the country’s
fight against terrorism.
Vanguard gathered that the security personnel left
the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in a chattered aircraft
at about 5pm and were accompanied by Nigeria
Security officers as well as Russian instructors
who had been in the country to part of the initial
selection process of the men and officers that
would take part in the training.
This paper had exclusively reported that following
the dithering of western Nations especially Britain
and the United States of America to train Nigerian
security personnel to confront the Boko Haram
terrorist group, government decided to turn to
Russia to meet some of its immediate security
needs pending the resolution of the diplomatic
difference amongst them.
Our correspondent gathered that the latest group of
Nigerian security personnel are joining three
batches of their colleagues who had earlier left for
Russia for the training earlier this year.
The last group would be in Russia for four months
before they return to Nigeria early next year to
form a nucleus of Special Forces brigade that is to
be set up by Nigerianw armed forces and other
security forces.
