Nigerian Air Force Clarifies C-130 Aircraft Made Safe Precautionary Landing in Burkina Faso
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has clarified that its C-130 military aircraft, previously reported detained in Burkina Faso over an alleged airspace violation, made a safe precautionary landing due to technical concerns.
In a statement on Tuesday, Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said the aircraft was on a ferry mission to Portugal when the crew detected a technical issue shortly after departing Lagos. Following international aviation safety protocols, the plane diverted to Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, as the nearest available airfield.
