Niger Republic’s new military Junta revealed that it has amassed evidence to prosecute the deposed Niger’s President, Mohamed Bazoum, for high treason and undermining internal and external security of the country.

According to the juntas’ spokesman Col. Maj. Amadou Abdramane who announced it on state television on Sunday, the military regime had “gathered the necessary evidence to prosecute before competent national and international authorities the ousted president and his local and foreign accomplices for high treason and for undermining the internal and external security of Niger.”

Earlier on Sunday, the head of a religious delegation of mediators said that the leader of the military junta is ready to consider a diplomatic solution to the country’s face-off with the West African bloc ECOWAS.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has approved the deployment of a “standby force to restore constitutional order” in Niger as soon as possible but that it remains committed to finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

ECOWAS has not ruled out using force against the army officers who toppled Niger’s elected leader Mohamed Bazoum on July 26.

Coup leader General Abdourahamane Tiani “said their doors were open to explore diplomacy and peace in resolving the matter”, said Sheikh Bala Lau, a day after his Nigerian Muslim delegation held talks in the capital Niamey.
