The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) emergency gathering is being chairman of the military chiefs, Gen. Christopher Musa.
However, Daily Trust reports that the seats reserved for Mali, Guinea Bissau, Niger, and Burkina Faso military chiefs are presently unoccupied as they appear to have ignored the meeting.
Present at the meeting are the military chiefs of Togo, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Guinea, Gambia, Cote’Divoire, Cabo Verde and the Republic of Benin. ECOWAS had on Sunday given the Niger Republic coup plotters a one-week ultimatum to restore democratic order in the country or risk military action. Source: Legit.ng
