Burkina Faso Still Detaining Nigerian Air Force Pilot and Crew, Security Expert Denies Release

Security expert Zagazola Makama refutes claims that Burkina Faso has released the Nigerian Air Force pilot and crew. The crew was detained after an unauthorized landing in Burkina Faso, prompting suspicions of Nigeria's involvement in a Benin coup attempt.

Burkina Faso authorities are conducting checks before allowing the crew to depart. The incident involves a Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft landing in Bobo Dioulasso without authorization, leading to security agency intervention.
