A video has emerged indicating that the Niger republic’s
coupists have started deploying military along its border with neighbouring
country, Benin, amidst imminent military intervention by the Economic Community
of West African States, ECOWAS.
The development was disclosed by a counter-insurgency expert
and security analyst in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama.
Recall that ECOWAS had threatened a possible
military action against the junta who seized power in Niger and suspended the
constitution.
Last month, ECOWAS ordered its standby force to restore
constitutional order in the Republic of Niger.
The order followed the resolution of ECOWAS on the Niger coup
after its extraordinary meeting in Abuja.
However, the regional bloc’s army is yet to invade Niger.
Makama on his social media platform X, on Monday, posted a
video that showed Niger’s military were deploying at Beninese border in
preparation against the military intervention by the ECOWAS.
“Niger deploys Military to the Niger- Beninese Border amidst
eminent Military intervention plans of ECOWAS,” he wrote.
NigerianEye sighted the video showing movement of military
vehicles in a convoy as they were being hailed by the people.
