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.
