Following recent events, there has been significant online discussion regarding the political situation in Benin. A claim circulating on social media, specifically from a Facebook page, suggested that the residence of former President Boni Yayi had been surrounded by armed personnel.
This claim has been verified as false. No residence belonging to the former president, whether in Cotonou or elsewhere in the country, is currently surrounded by military or armed forces.
It is important for the public to rely on verified information from official and reputable sources, especially during periods of heightened online discourse. Always check the credibility of sources before sharing information.
