United Nations Calls For Restraint In Niger Republic Coup Attempt
The United Nations (UN) Secretary General, Antonio Guterres has called on all actors involved in the coup attempt in Niger Republic to “exercise restraint and ensure the protection of constitutional order.”
Naija News reports that this was made known by the Spokesperson to the UN scribe, Stéphane Dujarric, at a press conference in New York on Wednesday.
Recall that some disgruntled presidential guard members, on Wednesday, sealed off access to the president’s residence and offices after the Nigerien Army gave them an ultimatum.
After talk broke down between the army and Bazoum, the guards refused to release the President in an attempted coup.
Following the development, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is the Chairperson of the ECOWAS Heads of Government, and EECOWAS condemned the detention of President Bazoum by members of the Presidential Guard.
