Issoufou denied involvement in the overthrow of Bazoum's government
The former president of the Republic of Niger, Mahamadou Issoufou has decided to file a complaint before the court after his alleged involvement in the military coup in the country last year.
The former French ambassador in Niger made this accusation, but Mahammadu Issoufou's lawyer described the accusation as baseless and an attempt to smear him.
Issoufou denied the allegations saying that the meeting that Sylvain Itte said he had with Tchiani on July 28, will not be a proof of his involvement in the coup d'état in the country.
Regarding the conflict that is said to exist between President Bazoum and Mahamadou Issoufou on the appointment of the director general of the new petroleum agency in the country, Issoufou's lawyer said that the conversation is a joke.
The lawyer also added that there is no disagreement between the country's oil minister and Bazoum, but their opinion is the same about the new company.
The lawyer also emphasized that Mahamadou Issofou had nothing to do with the overthrow of the government, so the evidence presented by Sylvain Itte before the National Security Agency and the French Parliament is just a myth.
According to the lawyer, the seriousness of the accusations made the former president of Niger go to court so that justice can be done to him.
