Itrybe News reports that the coup in Niger Republic has degenerated into something messier as citizens have resorted to beating up politicians in the country.
In a video sighted by this publication, a top female politician was seen struggling with mobs in the county as she was been beaten with sticks.
In the video, the mob made sure she went to the ground before allowing her to leave their premises.
This is coming after aggrieved military personalities seized power from President Mohamed Bazoum and declared a coup in the country. The president was detained by his own internal security guards.
Despite calls by several international organizations shunning the military officers to stop the coup at its early stage, they didn’t oblige.
