JUST-IN: Fresh Worry For Tinubu And ECOWAS As Niger’s Junta Moves To Strengthen Its Grip On Power

The group of mutinous soldiers responsible for overthrowing the democratically elected President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, have recently unveiled a series of measures aimed at consolidating their control over the country.

These measures are believed to be part of their strategy to fortify their hold on power and counter any potential military intervention by regional leaders seeking to reinstate Bazoum.

Under the leadership of Brig. Gen. Abdrahmane Tchiani, the junta has issued orders to put the Nigerien armed forces on high alert due to perceived threats of aggression against the nation’s territory.

They have also reached out to the military-led governments of neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso, requesting assistance in defending against potential attacks.
