Residents of Kano have staged a protest against the proposed use of force by the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) to resolve the Niger coup crisis.
The protesters on Saturday embarked on a demonstration to show their displeasure at the planned military invasion of the Niger Republic.
While moving in a procession, they chanted, “Nigeriens are our brothers; Nigeriens are also our family
Recall that at a meeting in Abuja on Thursday, August 10, ECOWAS leaders directed military forces of the member States to be on standby for restoration of democratic rule in the neighbouring West African nation.
The protesters kicked against this plan. They carried different placards while chanting.
Some Nigerians have argued that residents of some Northern states will be greatly affected if any war is launched against the coupist in Niger.
Meanwhile, the Niger junta had announced a cut of diplomatic ties with Nigeria.
Consequently, Nigeria cut the electricity supply to Niger
