Despite the military junta in Niger Republic refusing to meet with the tripartite delegation from ECOWAS-AU-UN Mission on Tuesday, they eventually allowed the former Emir of Kano (Northern Nigeria), Mr. Muhammad Sanusi, to arrive the country on Wednesday to meet with them.
The ECOWAS Commission had stated in a press release that its mission to Niger was aborted following a late-night communication from the military authorities in Niger indicating their unavailability to receive the tripartite delegation.
