Niger’s military says it will prosecute deposed President Mohamed Bazoum for treason, hours after a group of senior Islamic scholars said the country’s coup leaders are open to diplomacy to resolve their standoff with West Africa’s regional bloc

ECOWAS has learnt with stupefaction, attempts to bring charges of high treason against H.E. Mohamed BAZOUM, President of the Republic of Niger.

ECOWAS condemns this move as it represents yet another form of provocation and contradicts the reported willingness of the military authorities in the Republic of Niger to restore constitutional order through peaceful means.

President BAZOUM remains the democratically-elected President of the Republic of Niger recognized by ECOWAS and the international community.

ECOWAS condemns his illegal detention and calls for his immediate release and reinstatement.

Do something

Who's provoking who?


Why interfering in a sovereign country's affairs that the entire citizens seems to be happy with the military actions....


Do you know what it means to be rich yet the people stealing from you turns back to accuse you as a wretched person?

MILITARY JUNTA MIGHT BE RIGHT.
SAUDI ARABIA AND IRAN ARE TERRORISTS IN AFRICA.
MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND ELSAKSAKI ARE SAUDI ARABIA AND IRANIAN TERRORISTS.

This one is just doing anything the west tells him to do so that they would his drug charges.

This I have seen.

Though military government is an aberration, but these Nigerien putschists have proven to the world that they are the ones with a difference. Their capturing the former president was a master stroke. The man was a democratically elected president but was in cahoot with the French, US and European bodies that have continue to explore the rich Uranium of Niger thereby sabotaging his country.

They are patriots who want to free their people from the continued exploitation by their neo-colonists stranglehold which have impeded the development of their nation and the African continent.

ECOWAS and the AU are useless political chess boards all these Western influence are exploiting to help the corrupt African leaders to continue to subjugate their citizens and nations. Imagine what Pual Biya of Cameroon is doing. Tinubu was fraudulently put in government and ECOWAS said his election was free and fair.

If ECOWAS is as strong as they want us to believe, why have they not go against terrorists and Fulani bandits ravaging the region ?
Let's Nigeriens breath

ECOWAS won't do sh!t.

Niger military is doing what is best for their country. Democracy shouldn't be a death sentence. When the purpose (which is to serve the people) is getting abused, it should be rescued, like they just did in Niger.

People should stop using democracy to execute modern day slavery

Toothless dragons

Lol

Something is definitely pushing tinubu the unconstitutional to self destruction.

Just dey play

Yoruba will say, instead make the owner of the farm catch the thief, the thief is even the one accusing the owner of the farm of stealing. This Niger junta is high on kerosene

The military dictatorship in Niger must be delusional.

Once removed, them must all be prosecuted for treason.

May Treason For Bazoum: "Stop Provoking Us" - ECOWAS Warns Niger Junta) favor me and my family

Would you say same if a future Peter Obi regime is terminated by the military and Yorubas and Hausas and Fulani and Kanuri are rejoicing?

You guys have no sense in your heads.

Tootless dog,what happened to their 7days ultimatum

Ebola is a cancerous druggie that has put Nigeria on a reverse gear.
While ebolans are suffering and smiling over 30k that can take care of an avery Nigerian for one week.

Are they charging him to court or they are doing it their self this unfair they should resolve this issue

What is the problem with this Ebola Tinubu abeg!


You rushed into Aso rock, instead of concentrating on your most important job na Niger be your wahala.

Kk

Throwback:


Would you say same

Say same how?

Foolish Niger Republic coupists wants to turn their country to Mali. A country that Jihadists have taken more than half of it.

No wonder Niger republic jihadists rejoiced when they heard that the president had been toppled by the coupist.

Ok
