It seems that each new day brings one interesting news concerning the Niger coup. First, it was ECOWAS threatening war against Niger unless they reinstate President Bazoom. Next, it was Niger protesters storming the French embassy demanding the withdrawal of French troops as anti-french sentiments spread throughout the country. Then came the stand off between Niger and France as France refused to leave the county. However, in all this one thing everybody had accepted was that the coup was successful and it was unlikely that President Bazoom would be reinstated but it seems that Bazoom has refused to accept this reality and is still fighting to claim back his position.

On September 18th, 2023, Bazoom, who is still detained by the coup plotters, decided to take his case to the West African justice system through his lawyer in the West African regional bloc of ECOWAS court in Nigeria's capital of Abuja to obtain his release and the so-called restoration of constitutional order in the country. In the application, an order was requested stating that his detention by Niger’s junta infringes on his fundamental rights and that he should be reinstated as the country’s democratically elected president. Joined as defendants in the application are Bazoum’s wife and son, both of whom are also detained by the soldiers.

Maître Diagne, Bazoom’s lawyer, claims that his "clients are victims of serious and intolerable human rights violations and that they have the right to bring their case to the appropriate courts. “What we want is for the State of Niger to be condemned by a court decision." "Mr. Bazoum's fight is a legal fight," he emphasized.
