The Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the ‘coup plotters’ in Niger Republic to restore ousted President Muhammed Bazoum to office.
The decision followed an extraordinary meeting of the leaders of ECOWAS in Abuja on Sunday, presided over by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, who is the current chairman of the group.
They demanded the full restoration of constitutional order in the Republic of Niger and considered the illegal detention of President Bazoum as a hostage situation, holding the authors of the attempted coup d’état solely and fully responsible for his safety and security and that of his family and government.
In the event that ECOWAS’ demands are not met within one week, the leaders said they will take all measures necessary to restore constitutional order in the Republic of Niger.
