Benin coup attempt foiled by loyalist troops, interior minister says
The government of Benin says it has foiled an attempted coup by members of the West African nation's armed forces.
"The Beninese armed forces and their leadership, true to their oath, remained committed to the republic," Interior Minister Alassane Seidou said in a televised address several hours after a group of soldiers made a broadcast in which they said they had ousted President Patrice Talon.
A presidential adviser later told the BBC the president was in a safe location.
