President Muhammadu Buhari is presently at the presidential villa, Abuja, attending the second virtual extraordinary summit of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The meeting is part of the ongoing efforts of the leaders to return Mali to constitutional order after a military coup deposed its elected government recently.

Recall that the ECOWAS leaders had earlier met via video conference on August 20, to deliberate on the same matter where they called for the immediate release of President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita of Mali, and a return to constitutional order in the country.

The ousted Malian president, Keita, was released from detention by the military junta on August 27 in line with the request of the ECOWAS leaders.
