TypeError [INVALID_TYPE]: Supplied options is not an object error when trying to ban someone

My ban command checks if a user is bannable then bans them. My kick does the same thing but it actually works. The ban message sends so the user is bannable but doesn't actually get banned. Here's my code

if (memberTarget.bannable) {
            if (
              message.member.roles.highest.position >
              message.guild.members.cache.get(target.id).roles.highest.position
            ) {
              target.ban(reason);
              let banReason = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
                .setDescription(`**${target.user.tag}** has been banned.`)
                .addField("Reason:", `${!reason ? "Unspecified" : `${reason}`}`)
                .setFooter(
                  `banned by ${message.author.tag}`,
                  "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/375020097431011328/881012463645126686/3dgifmaker15131.gif"
                )
                .setColor("#000000");
              message.reply({ embeds: [banReason] }).catch((err) => {
                message.channel.send({ embeds: [banReason] });
              });
            }

My problem with this is everytime I try to go and kick someone, I get my error:

if (!memberTarget.bannable) {
            let lowPerms = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
              .setDescription(
                `<:role:887134365476335626> I lack the required permission to ban **${target.user.tag}**.`
              )
              .setColor("#000000");
            message.reply({ embeds: [lowPerms] });
          }

This happens even why I try to kick someone with no roles and my bot had administrative permissions. The actual error itself:

    if (typeof options !== 'object') throw new TypeError('INVALID_TYPE', 'options', 'object', true);     
                                           ^

NodeJS is freaking out because I'm guessing the reason you passed into target.ban() is a string, not an object. In discord.js, you have to provide an object into the GuildMember#ban() method, like this:

target.ban({ reason });

You can also choose how many days (from 0-7) of messages to delete, like this:

target.ban({ days: 7, reason }); // Deletes all messages the member banned sent within the past 7 days

The error attached in question is originated via this specific line:

target.ban(reason)

The GuildMember#ban([options]) if needed to be called with options the options must be an array of options / object like so


    target.ban({
        reason: `${!reason ? "Unspecified" : `${reason}`}`
     });
