LAGOS: Nigeria has sent an air force technical team and the commander of a planned African-led force to Mali to assist the country's military as it battles militants, a presidency spokesman said on Saturday.
“The technical staff from the Nigerian air force are already on the ground in Mali,” Reuben Abati said. “They are not fighters; they are technical staff.” He added the commander of the planned African-led force, a Nigerian, was also in Mali.
