Bénin : Condamné pour l’assassinat du fonctionnaire d’Etat Pierre Urbain Dangnivo, Codjo Alofa décède en prison
A sad end for Cossi Codjo Alofa. According to a statement from the public prosecutor at the Cotonou Court of First Instance, this charlatan, sentenced to 30 years in prison last July for the assassination of state official Pierre Urbain Dangnivo, died yesterday, Monday, October 26, 2026, after being admitted to the Hubert Koutoukou Maga National Hospital Center in Cotonou.

"Initial findings indicate a stroke confirmed by medical services," the note states.
Cossi Codjo Alofa was arrested after the exhumation of the body of Pierre Urbain Dangnivo in the backyard of his home on September 17, 2026.
The Finance Ministry official and recognized trade unionist disappeared on August 17, 2010 while returning home from work in his vehicle.
To date, his family has never recognized the exhumed body as his own. Before the verdict was delivered last July, they withdrew from the courtroom.
The defense lawyers did the same after the court rejected their request for handwriting analysis of certain documents in the case file.
The same court also rejected the prosecution's request to reclassify the offenses.
