The Nigerian military was told to be prepared for possible deployment to neighboring Niger, where the military took over last week, without a formal mobilization order, the Western media reported on Friday, citing an unnamed Nigerian officer. On July 26, Niger's presidential guard ousted and detained President Mohamed Bazoum. The guard's commander, Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani, proclaimed himself interim leader and the president of caretaker National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP). On Sunday, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) imposed sanctions on Niger and gave coup leaders one week to reinstate the detained president, or it would use "all measures," including military, to restore order. CNSP urged Nigeriens to protest against ECOWAS and vowed to respond to any aggression.

Nigeria Reportedly Puts Military on Standby for Possible Deployment to Niger
Earlier in the day, Niger's coup leadership said it would respond to aggression or its attempt amid threats by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to use force if the country's elected president, Mohamed Bazoum, does not regain office.
The Nigerian military was told
to be prepared for possible deployment to neighboring Niger, where the military took over last week, without a formal mobilization order, the Western media reported on Friday, citing an unnamed Nigerian officer.
"Mobilization has not started yet, but were told to be on standby for possible deployment to Niger," the Nigerian officer was quoted as saying by media.
On July 26, Niger's presidential guard ousted and detained President Mohamed Bazoum. The guard's commander, Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani, proclaimed himself interim leader and the president of caretaker National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP).
On Sunday, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)
imposed sanctions on Niger and gave coup leaders one week to reinstate the detained president, or it would use "all measures," including military, to restore order. CNSP urged Nigeriens to protest against ECOWAS and vowed to respond to any aggression.
