Equatorial Guinea detains 6 French Soldiers

Equatorial Guinea has detained six French soldiers.

According to local media reports, the soldiers have been detained for landing a helicopter without authorization.

Reports say the helicopter landed in Equatorial Guinea’s mainland port of Bata on Wednesday because it needed to refuel.

It is said to have landed hours after a French court upheld a sentence against Equatorial Guinea’s Vice President Teodoro Obiang for accumulating luxury property with illegally accumulated funds.
