The Federal Government has acknowledged that it is investigating the reasons for the detention of a Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft in Burkina Faso following its forced landing in Bobo-Dioulasso on Monday.
According to reports, the aircraft breached the nation’s airspace.
The administration is keeping an eye on the situation, according to Kimiebi Ebienfa, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Ebienfa informed reporters, “We are keeping an eye on the situation and will release a statement when we have sufficient information.”
There were eleven persons on board the Nigerian Air Force plane: nine troops and two staff members. They were in Burkinabe airspace when they had to make an emergency landing.
Authorities in Burkina Faso “emphasized the absence of authorization to fly over the territory of Burkina Faso for this military device” in a statement.
