Authorities in the Benin Republic on Thursday announced they had successfully foiled a planned coup attempt set to take place on Friday, September 27.
A special prosecutor at Benin’s court for financial crimes and terrorism, Elonm Metonou revealed that the alleged plot involved high-ranking officials and was uncovered just days before the scheduled event.
Metonou disclosed that a former Sports Minister, Oswald Homeky, was apprehended on Tuesday night.
Homeky was reportedly caught handing over six bags filled with cash to Djimon Tevoedjre, the Commander of the republican guard, who is responsible for the security of President Patrice Talon.
“It appears the Republican Guard commander in charge of the president’s security was engaged by the minister Oswald Homeky and Olivier Boko in order to carry out a coup by force on September 27, 2024,” Metonou stated.
According to the prosecutor, the seized bags contained approximately 1.5 billion West African CFA francs, equivalent to about $2.5 million.
Investigations revealed that a bank account was opened in Côte d’Ivoire under Tevoedjre’s name on August 6. The funds were reportedly transported in Homeky’s vehicle, a Toyota Prado fitted with fake license plates.
