Coup: Release Ousted Niger Republic president from detention, ECOWAS Court orders junta

The release of Niger’s ousted president, Mohamed Bazoum, who has been detained since a July 26 coup, was, on Friday, ordered by the ECOWAS Court.

The court particularly directed his immediate and unconditional release and his reinstatement as president of the Niger Republic.

It would be recalled that Bazoum had been held in his presidential residence with his wife and their son since he was overthrown.

In its ruling, the ECOWAS Court held that there are constitutional rights that have been violated and that Bazoum is the one who represents the state of Niger.
