FG begins probe as NAF aircraft is detained in Burkina Faso
The Federal Government says it is investigating why a Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft was held in Burkina Faso after it was forced to land in Bobo-Dioulasso on Monday.
Reports claim the military jet may have entered the country’s airspace without proper clearance.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Kimiebi Ebienfa, the government is closely monitoring the situation and working to resolve the issue.
“We are monitoring the situation and will issue a statement when we receive adequate information,” Ebienfa told reporters.
On board the Nigerian Air Force aircraft were 11 people – two crew members and nine soldiers. They made an emergency landing while flying in Burkinabe airspace.
A statement from Burkinabe authorities “highlighted the absence of authorisation to fly over the territory of Burkina Faso for this military device.”
