Benin Republic Confirms Coup Leader in Togo After Failed Attempt

The Benin Republic confirmed that the coup leader, Tigri, is in Togo following a failed coup attempt. Tigri, identified as a Beninese soldier and leader of the attempted coup, fled after the mutiny was foiled with military support from Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire.

Benin's President Patrice Talon has vowed to bring those involved to justice, but complications arise as Togo hesitates to extradite the suspects. The situation highlights regional security concerns and the need for cooperation within ECOWAS.
