Colonel Pascal Tigri tried pulling off a coup in the Benin Republic, but the whole thing flopped, and authorities say he bailed while some of his crew got picked up. Interior Minister Alassane Seidou went on TV, confirming that a small group tried to destabilize the government, but the military stayed loyal and shut it down. Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga passed along the update after Beninese officials confirmed Tigri was running from capture.
Seidou told everyone to go back to their normal routines since the situation got handled without much drama.
