Reports emerged that the Grounded Nigerian Air Force aircraft C-130 was no ordinary aircraft. It was equipped with highly sophisticated Geo-Mapping systems and technology.
It was transmitting the information in Real-Time from Borkina Faso to the French Military Agencies in the region.
Had the Aircraft not been intercepted and grounded, the French would have been having all the Burkinabe Military bases and coordinates!
The highly trained Nigerian military personnel are likely to face ESPIONAGE and Terrorism charges and death sentence may apply.
Nigeria government should not underrate Burkina Faso government or play games with Burkina Faso , they have detained French personals in prisons for years until French bows to their terms , they have detained many foreigners who were stealing their gold , from Europeans to Australians and they could not force Burkina government to their own terms .
A similar incident, Burkina Faso arrested four French nationals in Ouagadougou in December 2023, accusing them of espionage.
The French government denied they were DGSE agents. The Junta demanded €150 million and military equipment for their release.
After prolonged negotiations mediated by Morocco, the French nationals were freed in December 2024, reportedly following a payment of €60 million and the transfer of some heavy artillery.
Nigeria must fasten their seat belt on this matter , it’s a serious issue and any threat from Nigeria to Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 will worsen the suitation.
France continues to deny any payment, but reports from francophone countries insist the Burkinabè government was compensated.
As it stands, Burkina Faso appears ready to leverage the situation with the Nigerian soldiers, unless the Nigerian government accelerates negotiations, so far Burkina Faso has Transferred the 11 Detained Nigerian Soldiers Into Isolated Detention.
