Benin Republic Jails About 30 Suspects, Mostly Soldiers, Over Foiled Coup Attempt Against President Patrice Talon
Authorities in the Republic of Benin have remanded about 30 suspects—most of them soldiers—in custody following a failed coup attempt against President Patrice Talon earlier this month. The suspects were arraigned before the Court for the Repression of Economic Crimes and Terrorism (CRIET) in Cotonou and ordered into pre-trial detention after hours of interrogation. They face serious charges including treason, murder, and endangering state security. The attempted coup briefly saw mutinous soldiers announce Talon’s removal on national television before loyalist forces, reportedly backed by Nigerian Air Force and French special forces, swiftly restored order. Several casualties were recorded, while the alleged coup leader, Lieutenant-Colonel Pascal Tigri, remains on the run amid heightened political tensions in the country.
