Amidst imminent military intervention by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Niger Republic’s coupists have started deploying military personnel along its border with Benin, one of its neighbouring countries.
This is according to a video which emerged and posted on Monday by Zagazola Makama, counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad.
Tribune Online reports that the ECOWAS last month ordered the immediate activation of the sub-regional Standby Force with all its elements, and deployment to restore constitutional order in Niger Republic.
This is one of its resolutions reached in a 12-point communique issued after its Second Extraordinary Summit on August 10. However, the ECOWAS is yet to invade Niger Republic despite all attempts to dialogue failed.
But Makama, disclosed the latest development on its X page (formerly Twitter), stated that the military junta in Niger has deployed personnel to Benin border amidst possible ECOWAS invasion.
“Niger deploys Military to the Niger- Beninese Border amidst eminent Military intervention plans of ECOWAS,” he wrote.
