The 72 Special Forces Battalion is a special forces unit of the Nigerian Army. It is stationed at Makurdi.[1]
Previously it appears to have been the 72 Paratrooper Battalion; it may have been re-designated circa 2010. There are indications that it may be an independent battalion which may report directly to the Defense Headquarters.
