According to a video that has surfaced, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), which is preparing to launch a military intervention, the coup leaders in the Niger Republic have begun stationing troops along the country’s border with Benin, one of its neighbours.
Zagazola Makama, a security analyst and counterinsurgency specialist in Lake Chad, revealed the discovery.
According to the Obasanjonews24, ECOWAS vowed to take probable military action against the Nigeran junta that had taken control and suspended the constitution.
The Republic of Niger’s constitutional order was restored by the standby force of ECOWAS last month.
The directive was issued in response to ECOWAS’s decision about the coup in Niger during its emergency meeting in Abuja.
The army of the regional group has not yet entered Niger, though.
On Monday, Makama shared a video on his social media channel X that showed the Nigeritian military deploying near the Beninese border in anticipation of an ECOWAS military intervention.
In light of impending military intervention preparations by ECOWAS, he added, “Niger deploys military to the Niger-Benin border.”
Obasanjonews24 saw a video that showed military vehicles travelling in a convoy and receiving cheers from the crowd.
