Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76663, member: 636"] Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni called out the federal government for lying about releasing Nigerian Air Force crew members stuck in Burkina Faso since their Lockheed C-130 Hercules had to make an emergency landing while heading to Portugal. Seven officers and four airmen are still being held because nobody from the government bothered reaching out officially to explain what the mission was about. The broadcaster says the detained personnel have zero contact with their families and haven't heard anything from NAF or federal officials. All the government needs to do is tell Burkinabe authorities the crew was on legit business to Portugal and had nothing to do with operations in Benin. Rufai wants people to pressure leadership into handling the situation instead of pretending everything got resolved when these service members are still sitting in detention. [/QUOTE]
