Streets in Niger’s capital Niamey are deserted as elements of the presidential guard moved against President Mohamed Bazoum.

NIAMEY: Niger president Mohamed Bazoum has been removed from power, according to a group of soldiers who appeared on the West African nation’s national television late on Wednesday, hours after the president was held in the presidential palace. Reading from a statement, Colonel Amadou Abdramane, seated and flanked by nine other officers wearing fatigues, said the defence and security forces had decided: “Put an end to the regime that you know due to the deteriorating security situation and bad governance.”

He said the country’s borders are closed and a nationwide curfew declared, and all institutions of the republic were suspended.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
