Benin's Coup Attempt Leader Pascal Tigri Reportedly Declared Wanted by Security Forces
Some members of the group that attempted to seize power in Benin on Sunday have already been arrested, according to media outlet 24 Heures au Benin.
Other soldiers, including Lieutenant Colonel Tigri, are reportedly on the run.
The Republican Guard regained control of the situation a few hours after a group of soldiers announced on national television that they had "removed President Talon from office," the media outlet noted.
National television has been freed.
