BREAKING: Tension As Niger Junta Deploys Forces At Beninese Border Against #ECOWAS Invasion [VIDEO]—-In a new video trending in the media space, indications shows 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.
This online newspaper reported 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.
TGM sighted the video showing movement of military vehicles in a convoy as they were being hailed by the people.
