(Reuters) – The junta that seized power in Niger late last month said late on Sunday that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum could be prosecuted for high treason.
Colonel Amadou Abdramane, a spokesperson for the junta, said on state TV that it had “assembled the necessary elements to prosecute the ousted president … for high treason and undermining the internal and external security of Niger.”
