Falana to ECOWAS: Military intervention unwise | Impose stronger sanctions on Niger coup plotters
Femi Falana, a human rights lawyer, has asked the authority of the Economic Community of West African States to reconsider its interventions in the crisis going on in the Niger Republic.
The organisation announced the closure of all land and air borders between member countries and Niger and moved to suspend all commercial and financial transactions between member states and the country. “Apart from suspending Niger from ECOWAS, the leaders of the sub-regional body should refrain from attending international conferences with coup plotters as was recently witnessed during the recently concluded Russia-Africa summit held in St. Petersburg, Russia,” the senior advocate of Nigeria said in a statement on Tuesday.
