Authorities in Burkina Faso have released 11 Nigerian military personnel held after a cargo plane from Lagos made an “unauthorised” emergency landing in its second largest city, Bobo-Dioulasso. The breakaway regional Association of Sahel States (AES) stated that the C-130 aircraft entered Burkinabé airspace without permission, which was described as an “unfriendly act.” This incident occurred less than 24 hours after Nigerian forces intervened in an attempted coup in Benin.
