DCD Protected Mobility said a group of ten operators and maintenance personnel attended a two-week training course in November and December 2013. The two-module training course focused on operating the Springbuck VI vehicle and on performing first line technical repairs. “Trainee feedback indicated that the group derived great value from this training, which will be shared with fellow NPF officers in Nigeria,” the company said yesterday.

The Federal and State Nigerian Police Force have received 44 Springbuck APCs to date and these are deployed throughout the 34 States of Nigeria. Five more have just arrived in Nigeria and will be commissioned in the next two weeks. Another three will be shipped towards the end of next month, according to Mears.
