Something interesting I saw today. Former Army Chief Lt Gen Buratai speaking on TVC News about the special forces capabilities of the Nigerian military. Found it interesting that he mentioned the Nigerian Navy’s SBS even ahead of the Army’s special forces. Says a lot about how highly regarded the SBS (Nigeria’s equivalent of US Navy SEALs, established 2006) is, by sister services.
