The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has again issued a stern warning to leaders of Niger Republic military junta that no harm must come to ousted President Mohamed Bazoum.
The President of the ECOWAS
Commission, Omar Touray, who gave the warning at a press conference held on Friday at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja, said though the sub-regional body has neither declared war on the people of Niger Republic nor planned to invade the country, the use of the regional standby force will be activated if anything happens to Bazoum.
Touray said that Niger Republic, as part of the West African regional bloc, subscribed to its rules and regulations to deploy measures to support its fight against terrorism to ensure the restoration of democracy, peace, and security in the community and as such must abide by the rules guiding the body.
