<p>A delegation led by Nigeria&#8217;s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, has successfully secured the release of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) personnel detained in Burkina Faso.</p>
<p>The soldiers were detained after their aircraft conducted a precautionary landing at the nearest airfield in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. The NAF stated the landing was due to an observed technical concern and was carried out in full compliance with standard safety and international aviation protocols.</p>
<p>The Burkinabé government, however, had initially described the unscheduled arrival as a breach of its sovereignty.</p>
