The Joint Action Front (JAF) has condemned plans by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to launch military intervention in Niger Republic and impose economic sanctions on the country. It also said the cutting of power supply to Niger by Nigeria and closure of the border with Niger were callous.
In a statement jointly signed by Chairperson of JAF, Dipo Fashina, and Secretary, Comrade Abiodun Aremu, the group said rather than waste money in prosecuting war against Niger, the federal government should restore subsidy and reverse petrol price to the old rate of N195 per litre.
