Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi has met with the coup leaders that seized power in Niger Republic.
The meeting took place after the junta aborted a meeting with representatives of the African Union (AU), the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) and a top US diplomat.
A delegation established by ECOWAS could not broker peace with the military rulers as they declined a meeting.
But on Wednesday, pictures of Sanusi, whose Tijjaniya sect has a large following in Niger, went into circulation.
