Posted by Thandiubani on Tue 15th Aug, 2023 - tori.ng

ECOWAS also condemned the illegal detention of President Bazoum and calls for his immediate release and reinstatement.

 
The Economic Community of West African States has issued a warning to Niger’s coup leaders.
 
ECOWAS warned the coup leaders not to provoke the regional body.
 
This comes after the junta said it will prosecute deposed President Mohamed Bazoum for treason.
 
Reacting in a statement, ECOWAS wrote:
 
"ECOWAS has learnt with stupefaction, attempts to bring charges of high treason against H.E. Mohamed BAZOUM, President of the Republic of Niger.
 
ECOWAS condemns this move as it represents yet another form of provocation and contradicts the reported willingness of the military authorities in the Republic of Niger to restore constitutional order through peaceful means.
 
President BAZOUM remains the democratically-elected President of the Republic of Niger recognized by ECOWAS and the international community.
 
ECOWAS condemns his illegal detention and calls for his immediate release and reinstatement."
