The junta-led countries had already been suspended from the bloc, which has been urging them to return to democratic rule.
West Africa's main regional bloc, Ecowas, has rejected a proposal by Niger's military junta to hold elections within three years, extending a political impasse that could trigger a military intervention if no agreement is reached following a July coup.
ECOWAS has not taken any military action against the Niger junta a week after the deadline has passed for coup leaders to reinstate the ouster president.
