NIAMEY, Niger: Soldiers claim to have overthrown Niger's government following an apparent coup in the West African nation on Wednesday when members of the Presidential Guard detained President Mohamed Bazoum.

Members of the elite guard sealed off access to the president's residence and offices in the capital Niamey, and after talks broke down, 'refused to release' him, a presidential source said.
