West Africa’s regional court is due to rule on a complaint by the lawyers of Niger’s ousted president, Mohamed Bazoum, demanding he be freed and restored to power.

Bazoum has been held since soldiers seized power July 26, accusing him of failing to contain mounting insecurity in the region.

The Ecowas Community Court of Justice has no framework to make its decisions binding.
