Coup d’etat in Africa, especially in West Africa, has become commonplace in recent years, raising concerns about the survival of democracy and security on the continent.
The former vice president said it was concerning that the coups were happening around election periods in the affected countries.
“ECOWAS Commission has received with consternation reports of an attempted military takeover in the Republic of Benin,” ECOWAS stated.
Earlier, some soldiers announced a sudden takeover of the government, accusing Mr Talon of mismanagement.
The takeover took place after the military had criticised Mr Talon’s government over mismanagement of the country.
Mr Tinubu recently declared a nationwide security emergency.
He said the police arrested multiple suspects linked to banditry and kidnapping operations across the North-Central region.
The statement noted that criminals operating in the state had become desperate for medical care having sustained wounds in recent encounters with security forces.
The apex court ruled that Mr Jimi-Bada had no legal right to have instituted the case on behalf of the 30 local governments in the state in the first place.
The AbdulRazaq-led administration maintains that it is leaving no stone unturned.
