The Senate has washed its hands off reports of military action against the coup plotters who last week toppled the democratically elected president of Niger Republic, warning President Bola Tinubu and Heads of States of member countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to explore diplomatic, not military means, in intervening in the political impasse in the country.
