 Good afternoon, I'm Olamide Adeyemi and this is the news update. Members of the Equestries Authority of Heads of State, the government today issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Nigerian military to restore constitutional order and reinstate ousted president Mohamed Bassem into office. This followed an extraordinary meeting of leaders of the Equestries Member States at the State House in Abuja to discourse the happenings in the J-Republic. While recognising Bassem as the legitimate president of the Landlocked State, the bloc also imposed land and border closures suspending all commercial flights between the J and the Equestries Member States. Consultations with regional, continental and world leaders. Taking cognizance of the condemnation of the attempted coup and the illegal detention of President Bassem and members of his family and government by the neighbouring countries, the African Union, United Nations, European Union, United States of America, China, Russia, La Francophonie, the Commonwealth, the OIC and other partners. Recall the principle of zero tolerance for unconstitutional change of government as enshrined in the Equestries and African Union protocols and other instruments, resolve as follows. One, his Excellency President Mohamed Bassem remains the legitimate, elected president and head of state of the Republic of Niger, recognised by Equestries, the African Union and the international community. In this regard, only official acts of President Bassem or his duly mandated officials will be recognised by Equestries. Two, condemn in the strongest terms the attempted overthrow of constitutional order in Niger and the illegal detention of his Excellency President Mohamed Bassem, President and head of state of Niger as well as members of his family and government. Call for the immediate release and reinstatement of President Mohamed Bassem as President and head of state of the Republic of Niger and for the full restoration of constitutional order in the Republic of Niger. Let any form of resignation that may purportedly come from his Excellency President Mohamed Bassem consider the illegal detention of President Bassem as a hostage situation and hold the authors of the attempted coup d'etat solely and fully responsible for the safety and security of his Excellency President Mohamed Bassem as well as members of his family and government. In the event the authorities' demands are not met within one week, take all measures necessary to restore constitutional order in the Republic of Niger. Such measures may include the use of force. To this effect, the chiefs of defense staff of Equestries are to meet immediately.
