Benin's Foreign Minister Olushegun Adjadi Bakari protested against Tchiani's words in a letter to Niger's Foreign Ministry and already received the envoy, according to a diplomatic source cited by the media.
Earlier, Tchiani, accused
France and Benin of supporting terrorism, saying that Benin provided drones to terrorist groups operating in vulnerable regions.
