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.
A court martial for 36 Nigerian military officers accused in last year’s foiled coup plot was inaugurated on Friday in Abuja and will resume on May 8 behind closed doors. Separately, a Federal High Court in Abuja has begun trials for six civilians linked to the plot, barring journalists from coverage on Monday.
