Son of Ex-Benin President Arrested in Post-Coup Crackdown

Following a failed coup attempt in Benin, the son of ex-President Thomas Boni Yayi and several opposition members, including activist Kemi Seba, have been arrested. The crackdown also targeted individuals accused of inciting rebellion and supporting the coup.

Notably, the arrests come amid heightened tensions in the West African nation following the recent coup attempt and the issuance of international arrest warrants for alleged coup plotters.
