Why would a Nigerian plane enter the BF airspace without approval? ... and with military personnel? I guess they underestimated BF air defense systems and their ability to force land the plane. They are lucky the plane was not shot down ... and most likely will be confiscated. I'm almost sure the plane will be inspected for surveillance equipment... and no doubt.... they are going to grill the personnel. They will sing ... and not the same song since being captured was never in the plan and they most likely don't have a cover story. Tinubu taking orders from the West will run us into more trouble.

Reference:
But does Burkina have the hardware to protect it's airspace. Not many countries do and in Africa perhaps just a couple, if any.
Yes, Burkina Faso is protecting its airspace security with Russian anti-aircraft missiles. Burkina Faso's army has been
acquiring various new missile systems, guided missiles that can be launched from the ground, specifically designed to
shoot down aircraft, helicopters, drones, and even other missiles

Stop all your despicable attempt at propaganda,it's infantile at best and only palatable to deadheads who can't tell their left from the other........Burkina Faso and those sahel rookies can't do zilch in open confrontation with Nigeria,they know this,their govts are so unstable that they look for anything just to look effective......you wouldn't want your biggest and richest neighbor to align with your conquerors, France!!

Lagos state gov alone can sponsor a coup to overthrow that Putin wanna be let alone the fg.....if they know they are serious,let them hold those men and the aircraft beyond 48 hrs.

Let them dear!!
You are very delusional, and if you believe that you are so powerfull then take a plane and try to enter Burkina Faso airspace.

The reality is that you will be dealing with Russian anti-aircraft missiles, so I hope that your plane have an ejection seat systems.

If your plane do not have have an ejection seat systems then I tell you R.I.P in advance grin

It's obvious you are lilliputian in erudite discourse on international politics and relations..... Russia has no reason what so ever to help those boys scout in having direct confrontation with Nigeria..... Nigeria isn't a direct adversary and Russia knows the importance of Nigeria in the west African sub region, Nigeria isn't even directly in conflict it antagonistic of Russia,both countries have very good and beneficial relationships and Nigeria joining brics is a huge factor in that regard...... Nigeria has a far bigger worth in international politics than Burkina Faso or any if those sahel states.

You are even more delusonial here. They don't need to call Russia because they already acquired russian weapons and they know how to use them. If you violate Burkina Fasso airspace and get shot by a missille, it is a missille launched by the Burkina Fasso Army, not by the Russian army, even if the missille was fabricated in Russia, so please forget about Russia and stop believing that the Burkina Fasso Army need the presence of Russian soldiers to use a missile. They have been trained to do it even before buying the missilles. So stop thinking that they are devoid of intelligence, they know how to protect their airspace alone and they certainly don't need the permission or the technical assistance of the Russian army to do it.

You can't use Russian weapons against Russian friends......you are obviously bereft of any iota of cognitive ability in discourse of this nature .... definitely beyond ur level.

Trump had to order netanyahu to apologize to Qatar for bombing hamas members on qatari soil with American weapons and technology......trump simply told him"Qatar are our friends"

The Burkina Fasso Army will shot any plane entering their airspace. They don't care that you claim to be a friend of Russia, and the fact that the 11 Nigerians soldiers are still held in captivity today is another proof. Your claim to be a friend of Russia will not stop a missille to hit your plane. The Confederation of Sahel States don't care about what you think or believe. Yesterday on their National Television they warned that from today they will shoot down any unauthorized aircraft entering their airspace. Period . There will be no talk, no debate and no discussion before they fire their missilles. At least they are fair because they Warned in advance

I am not sure that you comprehend the report.

The soldiers were not on combat mission and probably on routine ECOWAS patrol with no previous hostile notice given by Burkina Faso because we are not at war with them. Besides, if it's a combat mission, you can't go on such a combat mission with a single jet. There will be back up jets just like we did when Benin Republic invited us to protect them from criminal coupists.

You are obviously a novice in international affairs and diplomacy and haven't been following up the p
The fact is that the impostor coupist in Burkina Faso is apprehensive for obvious reasons that Nigeria can dislodge him from power.

Burkina Faso will not dare face Nigeria and ECOWAS for obvious reasons. They have been at the magnanimity of ECOWAS countries on humanitarian grounds. Nigeria still bailed out Niger recently with about 400 tankers of fuel when they got stranded. Burkina Faso, Mali are impoverished and landlocked, and like Niger, still using sea ports of ECOWAS countries to recieve everything they depend on and even export.

If this report is true, I will not be surprised if our aircraft and soldiers are already home.

They don’t want the Benin experience from Nigeria and the rest of ECOWAS.

It's nice to know that ECOWAS is now taking the fight to them after Benin.
You are probably a novice in international affairs and diplomacy and probably not following up events between the AES and Russia. It's a bait Tinubu must not take else we'll all suffer for it. We don't even have world power allies due to APC "'non aligned " Foreign policy. China is a business partner not for ammunition and US is not on our side.

Burkina is powered by Moscow.
Tinubu should steer clear

He has no balls.

Ibrahim Traore is living in absolute fear. He has no peace because he is an illegitimate president. A tyrant that took power by force. He has consistently been scared that Nigeria is in alignment with France to remove him, hence anytime anything Nigeria comes close, he weewee in his pants.
Before you talk about weeing on pants. I hope you know implications of Nigeria becoming the battle field of world power war like Ukraine?

They can only bluff and nothing more,you think it's easy to just shoot down the aircraft of a bigger and richer neighbor which it's in your best interest to be friends with ......oga,this isn't USA-russia or India Pakistan.

Stop dreaming and come back to reality. Take a plane and try to enter their airspace to see if it is bluff.

Vietnam a very small country who didn't even have military airplanes defeated the United States of America.

Proofs that this have nothing to do with bigger and richer countries.

If you believe it is bluff and believe that you are so powerfull then enter with all your army and try to free the 11 Nigerians soldiers

Ask yourself why the Nigerian government try to negociate with the AES instead of invading to free the 11 soldiers.

When you are powerfull you don't negociate you just invade and free your soldiers. Or maybe Tinubu is just a little chicken grin

One Nigeria enemy spotted.

Now have you put your brain at work to understand why Nigeria plane could not pick Gej directly from Bissau? No matter who you are you can't land your aircraft in another country without permission it will cause diplomatic row and I remember how you this boy said Nigeria is finished simply Ivorien plane brought Gej back. I remember how you called Nigeria zoo, a disgraced country etc so now can you learn it now you can't even fly any country airspace unpermitted takless of landing to pick Gej.

Go school mbanu, read mbanu, stop following that trader mbanu, stop being a brain twisted obidient mbanu, stop listening to propaganda news from ipob quarters mbanu now see your life...
Tinubu and you only

That writeup was very direct and was not hard to comprehend. Is understanding an issue for you? Anyway it's normal with Tinubu supporters.

In summary...

Your airline violated airspace without informing the host nation of it's intended flight path. They forced it to land and your plane and soldiers are in captivity.

Is that not simple to understand?

The question you should ask is this...

What are these soldiers doing in the Sahel
Who gave the go ahead for the departure.
Who were they going to meet?
What was the purpose of the trip

As regards your hubris concerning recon. You can't violate a countries airspace, when it's obvious the country is Not your friend. To these countries ECOWAS is DEAD.

Go school ..na IGBO obsession no make you know book
Haba that it's too much they will resolve it
