The allegation was made by Bakary Yaou Sangare, Niger’s Foreign Minister under the current junta leadership, who made the statement on national television late Thursday, as reported by Naija News on Friday. Sangare accused Nigeria of providing sanctuary to foreign entities and members of the ousted regime of former President Mohamed Bazoum.
Despite efforts to improve relations, Sangare claimed that Nigeria’s actions continue to undermine the stability of Niger. According to him, these actions include offering refuge to officials from the former government and cooperating with foreign powers that are destabilizing the country.
In response to these accusations, the Nigerien junta has summoned the charge d’affaires from the Nigerian embassy to provide clarification and address the allegations. “Despite our efforts to normalize relations, we regret that Nigeria persists in acting as a support base for destabilizing Niger, collaborating with foreign powers and officials from the previous regime, to whom it offers shelter,” Sangare stated during his televised address.
The tension between Nigeria and Niger has been escalating since 2023 when a military coup ousted President Bazoum. In the wake of the coup, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), led by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, threatened military intervention to restore democratic order. In retaliation, Niger withdrew from ECOWAS, further deepening the divide.BREAKING NEWS: POPULAR GOSPEL ARTIST MISTAKENLY SHARES NVDE V!DEO MEANT FOR HER BOYFRIEND IN CHURCH WHATSAPP GROUP.
