The Niger military stationed troops near the border with Benin to prevent an ECOWAS invasion

A recently surfaced video reveals that the coup leaders in Niger have initiated the deployment of military forces at the country's border with Benin, in response to the imminent military intervention by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The revelation was made by Zagazola Makama, a security analyst and specialist in counter-insurgency operations in the Lake Chad region.

According to a report by DAILY POST, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has issued a warning over the potential use of military force against the junta that has taken control in Niger and subsequently suspended the constitution.

In the previous month, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) issued a directive to its standby force, mandating the restoration of constitutional order within the Republic of Niger.

The sequence of events adhered to the determination of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) about the coup in Niger subsequent to its extraordinary gathering held in Abuja.

Nevertheless, the military forces of the regional bloc have not yet initiated a military intervention in Niger.

On Monday, Makama shared a video on his social media site X, depicting the deployment of Niger's troops to the Beninese border. This deployment is in anticipation of a potential military intervention by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The author stated that Niger has deployed its military to the border between Niger and Benin in response to the anticipated military intervention preparations of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The video, observed by DAILY POST, depicts the procession of military vehicles in a convoy, accompanied by the enthusiastic reception of the populace.
