 Nigerian Military Aircraft Carrying 11 Soldiers Detained In Burkina Faso For Airspace Violation


The Government of Burkina Faso said a Nigerian Air Force aircraft carrying 11 soldiers was forced to land in the country on Monday after reportedly violating its airspace.


In a statement signed by Assimi Goita, the junta leader, the Burkinabe government said an aircraft belonging to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) was forced to land on Monday in Bobo Dioulasso, following an “emergency situation in flight” while it was operating in the country’s airspace.


“An investigation was immediately opened by the competent Burkinabe services and highlighted the lack of authorisation to fly over Burkinabe territory for this military apparatus,” the statement reads.


“The Confederation of the Sahel States most strongly condemns this violation of its airspace and the sovereignty of its member states.


“Faced with this unfriendly act carried out in defiance of international law and international civil and/or military aviation rules, arrangements are made to guarantee the security of the Confederal airspace, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its Member States, as well as the safety of the Populations of the Confederation AES.


 


“In this regard, and on the instructions of the Heads of State, the Arian and anti-aircraft defences of the Confederal space put on maximum alert, in accordance with the Declaration of the College of Heads of State dated December 22, 2024, were authorised to neutralise any aircraft that would violate the confederal space.”


 


On Sunday, NAF carried out air strikes on fleeing plotters of a failed coup in Benin Republic.
