Niger's Minister Of Finance Cries After Learning He Will Be Executed If He Doesn't Explain Where All The Money Went

The finance minister of Niger Republic, Ahmat Jidoud, wept and shed tears having been told by the new military Junta to account for all the stolen money of the country.

A group of soldiers plotted a coup and took over power from the President of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum and detained him in the presidential palace.

Reading from a statement, Colonel Amadou Abdramane, seated and flanked by nine other officers, said defence and security forces had decided: “Put an end to the regime that you know due to the deteriorating security situation and bad governance.”
