Benin Goes Up In Flames: Nigeria Scrambles Warplanes After Military Takeover!

By Passman Akpos
Lagos/Porto-Novo — In a stunning midnight drama that has thrown the entire West African region into shock, the Nigerian military has secretly launched high-powered fighter aircraft into Benin Republic’s airspace after an alleged military coup swept President Patrice Talon out of power on Sunday.
Multiple security sources CONFIRMED that the war jets, which took off from Lagos under tight military command, are now operating deep inside Benin territory as Nigeria races to assess the growing chaos next door.
“This is a FAST-MOVING SITUATION. The aircraft are already in Benin,” a top-ranking military insider revealed. “It is not an attack mission, but Nigeria must evaluate risks carefully. The region is on fire!”
THE COUP SHOCKER! LT. PASCAL TIGRI TAKES THE THRONE
Sources claimed that the alleged coup was led by Lt. Pascal Tigri, who reportedly dissolved all state institutions and seized full military control.The so-called Military Committee for Rebuilding declared:
November 2025 Constitution SUSPENDED!
Borders SHUT LAND, AIR & SEA!
Political parties OUTLAWED!
Government structures DISSOLVED!
Benin is now in the hands of a mysterious junta whose motives remain unclear.
NIGERIA ON HIGH ALERT!
With Nigeria sharing a long, porous, and highly vulnerable border with Benin Republic, the unfolding political meltdown is seen as a direct threat to Abuja, sparking urgent military surveillance.
Top security officials warn that instability could spill over into Nigerian territory if the situation spirals.
THE BIG QUESTION: IS BENIN BREWING A REGIONAL CRISIS?
Nigeria is holding back on an official diplomatic statement, but the war jets will keep flying over Benin airspace “until the situation becomes clearer.”
For now, West Africa holds its breath as a volatile coup, an unseen power struggle, and Nigeria’s military might collide over the skies of Benin Republic.
The region is teetering — and nobody knows what happens next.
