Burkina Faso military regime has arrested 11 Nigerian soldiers and also detained their aircraft in Bobo-Dioulasso in the South West of Burkina Faso.
They were captured after their aircraft conducted an emergency landing while “violating AES airspace.”.
This was confirmed by AES in a statement shared on X by security analyst, Brant Grant, on Monday night.
The AES claims a Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft violated Burkinabe airspace and conducted an emergency landing in Bobo-Dioulasso.
The statement also warned that any unauthorized aircraft violating AES airspace will be neutralized.
This comes after the Nigerian government deployed its military aircraft into Benin Republic on Sunday, following an attempted coup in the neighbouring country.
