We're Set To Hit Niger-ECOWAS Defence Chiefs
*Junta yet to react
Defence chiefs of the standby troops of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, said that they have concluded arrangements to intervene in the Republic of Niger.
They made the declaration at a meeting in Accra, the Ghanaian capital, on Thursday.
It would be recalled that coupists, led by General Tchiani, overthrew the democratic government of Mohammed Bazoum, following which the regional group issued a 7-day ultimatum to restore the ousted President or risk sanctions and a possible military intervention.
The military junta however, ignored the ultimatum.
