Nigerian Air Force Crew Detained in Burkina Faso

Narrative A

Nigeria sent a military C-130 deep into Burkinabe airspace without authorization, and the flight path alone makes the intention hard to dispute. This was not a momentary navigational error or harmless overflight but a deliberate, carefully executed incursion with clear espionage implications. In response, the AES has raised its air defenses to maximum alert and authorized the neutralization of any aircraft that breaches confederal airspace going forward.
