France has described as “groundless” the allegation by Niger that Nigeria had offered space in its territory to France in order to destabilise the former French colony.

Political Counsellor to the Embassy of France in Nigeria, Bertrand de Seissan, who expressed this thought in an interview said the matter was never been discussed, nor even suggested by either France or Nigeria.

It will be recalled that Abdourahamane Tchiani, the Nigerien military Leader alleged that France was plotting to destabilise the country by using neighbouring Benin and Nigeria as a base for attacks.
