Al Jazeera TV says a military council formed by the rebels intends to charge Nigerian President Mohamed Bazoum with treason.
“We have gathered evidence to prosecute the deposed president and his associates on charges of treason and endangering state security,” the rebels said in a statement (quoted by TASS).
