PHOTOS: Sanusi Lamido meets Niger coup leader

Abdourahamane Tiani, Niger Republic coup leader, on Wednesday, received Muhammadu Sanusi II, 14th  Emir of Kano, in Niamey, the capital.

TheCable understands that the meeting was part of efforts to find a lasting solution to the political impasse in the Francophone country.

A meeting of leaders of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is scheduled to hold tomorrow after the seven-day ultimatum issued by the organisation to the military junta in Niger to return the country to civil rule failed to yield results.

Below are pictures from the visit.
