Some members of the military Special Forces (SF) have mocked personnel of the newly created police unit -Special Weapons and Tactics Unit (SWAT).
The Special forces were seen in a video heading to a mission with hardware on canoes paddled by locals.
The lake, people and voices suggest the location is most likely on Northern terrain.
“Where is the SWAT that will come here. What have they seen, what do they know”, an operative said in pidgin English while recording.

The Heritage Times cannot yet establish if the officers are from the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force or the Nigerian Navy as the three arms have individual SF.
Special forces are elite military components specifically and highly trained for major operations.
It is worthwhile to note that SWAT personnel became a subject of comic relief after a training video of Special Weapon and Tactics Team (SWAT) personnel went viral.
The personnel who IGP Mohammed Adamu describes as young, smart and energetic officers, have no fewer than seven years working experience with the Nigerian police and have clean service records.
