Niger Junta Tchiani and other soldiers should be hung in the neck until dead
Omokri said General Tchiani had threatened to kill Bazoum should ECOWAS intervene with military action to restore constitutional order in the Niger Republic.
In a post on his verified Twitter handle @renoomokri, he said ECOWAS should treat Tchiani and any soldiers found culpable in such an act.
“On the threat by General Tchiani to kill President Mohamed Bazoum if ECOWAS intervenes militarily to restore constitutional order in Niger, I urge President Tinubu and ECOWAS to respond strongly with a warning that if General Tchiani carries out his threat, he will be treated as a common criminal when ECOWAS restores order. He and any soldiers found culpable in such an act will be tried by the ECOWAS court, and if guilty, they will be hung in the neck until dead, in keeping with international law, of which the ECOWAS is a subscriber. This threat calls for decisiveness, not niceness!”
