ECOWAS Speaks On Terrorism Allegation Against Nigeria

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has expressed full support for Nigeria and other member states that have been accused by Niger Republic of sponsoring terrorist attacks against the country.

Niger had previously accused Nigeria and other ECOWAS nations of conspiring with France to destabilize its government.

In response, ECOWAS issued a statement on Thursday, dismissing the allegations as “unfounded.”

“The Commission of the Economic and West African Staes (ECOWAS) expresses deep concern over allegations being made against Nigeria and other ECOWAS member states.

“The Commission stands firmly by Nigeria and ECOWAS member states against allegations that they are sponsoring terrorism.

“For years, Nigeria has supported peace and security of several countries not only in the West African subregion but also on the African continent.

“The recent successes recorded by the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), which Nigeria leads, demonstrate the country’s commitment to peace and security across the region.

“ECOWAS therefore, refutes any suggestion that such a generous and magnanimous country would become a state-sponsor of terrorism,” the statement read in part.

ECOWAS then urged all countries in the region to foster dialogue and stability, and to avoid making baseless accusations without supporting evidence.
