Ghana's military has been compelled to refute allegations that West African commanders entered a meeting concerning the Niger crisis to the soundtrack of the television series "Game of Thrones." This denial follows the circulation of a manipulated video clip online.

The fabricated video was initially disseminated by Ghana's UTV channel on social media, but it was subsequently removed.

Representatives from the Ghanaian armed forces confirm that no such music was played during the guard of honor parade held in Accra on Thursday.

The parade marked the commencement of a two-day Ecowas conference, where regional defense leaders convened to finalize plans for potential military intervention in Niger.

The nation recently witnessed a coup that deposed its democratically elected president. In the event of diplomatic efforts faltering, Ecowas has indicated its readiness to employ force to reinstate constitutional governance in Niger.

There is a concern that any further instability could exacerbate Niger's already fragile security circumstances.
