Burkina Faso’s interim leader, Ibrahim Traoré, has changed head of the paramilitary police.
It is not clear whether the changes is linked to last week’s announced failed coup attempt.
Lt Col Kouagri Natama was on Wednesday appointed to replace Lt Col Evrard Somda, who had led the national gendarmerie since last year, as reported by BBC.
It is reported the junta leader has also changed the officers in-charge of managing logistics and equipment within the army and the gendarmerie.
Burkina Faso’s junta had last week arrested four police officers on suspicion that they participated in a plot against state security.
According to the French-language news publication Jeune Afrique, two of the detained police officers worked under the national gendarmerie and were Mr Somda’s close associates.
