Nigeria deployed ground and air troops to assist Benin Republic in thwarting a coup attempt against President Patrice Talon, the presidency has confirmed. The Nigerian Air Force played a key role in the operation, while ECOWAS sent its standby force to defend the country. Benin authorities arrested around a dozen soldiers, including the ringleaders, following the botched plot.
The military high command in Nigeria has acknowledged that some officers plotted to unseat President Bola Tinubu. Reports from October last year detailed arrests of officers from captain to brigadier-general rank by the Defence Intelligence Agency.
