Preinstatement of Niger’s ousted President, Mohamed Bazoum, has been arrested.
The Patriotic Liberation Front (FPL) leader, Mahmoud Sallah, was arrested in the Gatroun district in Libya, the BBC Hausa Service reported Monday morning.
According to the report, Mr Sallah was arrested on Sunday by Libyan security forces alongside five lieutenants.
FPL is fighting for the return of Mr Bazoum, who was overthrown in a military coup. Mr Bazoum is being held with his wife, Hadiza, at the presidential palace in Niamey.
Authorities in the West African country had earlier stripped the FPL leader, Mr Sallah, of his nationality alongside seven members of the Bazoum administration accused of “terrorist bomb attacks.”
