One of the eleven Nigerian Air Force (NAF) personnel detained in Burkina Faso has confirmed that their aircraft made an emergency landing in the West African country due to a technical fault, which has since been resolved.
The personnel made this disclosure during a meeting with a Nigerian delegation led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar.
He stated that the aircraft experienced a technical issue while on a flight to Portugal but was successfully repaired, allowing operations to continue.
During the meeting, Mr. Tuggar conveyed a personal message from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the NAF personnel.
He also disclosed that the military ruler of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traoré, had offered to provide technical assistance to the Nigerian government if required.
GISTSMATE MEDIA earlier reported that the Burkina Faso released 11 Nigerian Air Force (NAF) pilots and crew members nine days after their detention, following high-level diplomatic intervention by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
According to multiple sources, the delegation sent by President Tinubu and the eleven Nigerian Air Force personnel are expected back in Nigeria today (Thursday).
