President Bola Tinubu has written to the Nigerian Senate requesting consent for the deployment of Nigerian troops to Benin Republic.

The troops are to embark on a peace mission in response to the ongoing attempted coup in Benin.

DAILY POST recalls that there was a coup attempt in Cotonou following an attack on President Patrice Talon’s residence in the Le Guézo neighbourhood early Sunday.

Recall the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, had executed a coordinated operation alongside Beninese authorities in an attempt to contain the coup.
