Putsch manqué au Bénin : Plusieurs victimes dénombrées dont l’épouse du chef du cabinet militaire de Talon
As of now, the Beninese authorities have not released any figures, but the fact remains that the failed coup of Sunday, December 7th, resulted in several casualties. Blood was shed on both sides, among the coup plotters and the loyalist forces.
You only need to read the minutes of the extraordinary Council of Ministers meeting to realize this. Indeed, according to the document, the wife of the head of the President's military cabinet, General Bertin Bada, was "mortally wounded" during the mutineers' assault on her husband's home around 2 a.m.
A little later, around 5 a.m., the coup plotters headed towards President Patrice Talon's residence to capture him. They encountered resistance from members of the Republican Guard. The fighting unfortunately resulted in casualties on both sides.
