Good evening the good people of Nigeria and concerned neighbors….
It appears that there was a little trouble in kuvuki land as Bola Tinubu tries arriving 🛬 Nigeria via his France 🇫🇷 trip ahead of the October 1st independence day in Nigeria.
David Hundeyin reports that The Niger 🇳🇪 Republic airspace Denied Nigerian airforce passage via their space….
He went ahead to report below :
My aviation source tells me that the reason NAF 001 with Bola Tinubu onboard spent so many hours in Algeria where it appeared to be stuck is that Niger refused permission for Tinubu to fly through Nigèrien airspace and threatened to shoot his plane out of the sky if he dared.
NAF 001 subsequently had to stop in Algeria to plot a new flight route to Abuja. They tried to cut through the southwestern tip of Niger, but they have just been forced to leave Nigèrien airspace!
They’ve just entered Burkina Faso!
Drama in West Africa’s skies!
