Report reaching TheNewsGuru.com has it that Niger republic’s junta have started deploying military along its border with neighbouring country, Benin, amidst imminent military intervention by the Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS).
This development was made known by a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst Zagazola Makama in Lake Chad.
Few weeks back, ECOWAS threatened a possible military action against the junta who seized power in Niger and suspended the country’s constitution.
Recall that 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.
In the video making the rounds, military vehicles were seen as they were being hailed by the citizens of Niger Republic.
