Republic of Benin
The Nigerian Government has reacted to the coup in neighboring Benin Republic, saying it failed woefully.
Presidential Spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, took to X, formerly Twitter, to denounce the coup on Sunday.
He said, “Coup in Benin Fails Mutineers in military uniform, who attempted to overthrow President Patrice Talon’s democratic government on Sunday in the Republic of Benin, have failed.
“The mutineers seized the National TV after failing to enter President Talon’s residence.
“The latest report from Cotonou said the National Guard has taken control of the situation and surrounded the television station. According to 24 Hours In Benin, discussions are underway with the mutineers, now holed up inside the station”.
