Tinubu Requests Nigerian Troops Deployment to Benin Republic After Coup Attempt

Nigerian politician Tinubu has written to the Senate seeking consent to deploy Nigerian troops to Benin Republic after a failed coup attempt. The request is in response to ongoing security challenges in Benin.

The deployment aligns with ECOWAS protocols, and Senate approval is required within 14 days. The coup attempt in Benin was thwarted by the intervention of neighboring countries.

Tinubu's leadership in promoting peace and constitutional order in West Africa is highlighted.
