The Nigerian Air Force NAF has commenced the training of another batch of Special Forces personnel to boost internal security operations in the country.
NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, made this known in a statement in Abuja.
Daramola said the Special Forces Course 5/2019 was inaugurated at the Regiment Training Centre RTC Annex in Bauchi.
He said the course, which is the seventh by the current NAF administration, is the first to be conducted at the newly established RTC Annex in Bauchi.
