Nigeriens are not happy with the Nigerian president, Bola Tinubu, for allegedly meddling in their affairs and they are making it known in street protests.

The protest in Niger Republic against Tinubu who is the chairman of the regional bloc, the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) is coming after a coup in the country which removed the democratically elected President, Mohamed Bazoum.

It is also coming after BBC reported that Nigeria cut off power supply to Niger Republic in line with an order from the Nigerian presidency.

ECOWAS has already said that military response will be the last option it will seek to restore the democratically elected government removed by the military junta.
