Two presumed terrorists incapacitated during the night of Tuesday, August 22nd, to Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023. The incident occurred in a locality in Karimama, northeastern Benin, in the Alibori department.
Two unidentified armed individuals were caught off guard by the Defense and Security Forces (DSF) as they were allegedly about to attack the residence of a local official. According to Bip Fm, the Beninese military did not allow the assailants time to carry out their plan.
The intervention of the Defense and Security Forces led to the neutralization of the two individuals who were planning an attack to disrupt the peace and tranquility of the population. Thanks to a swift and coordinated action, the army was able to put an end to this imminent threat.
Significant war material seized The neutralization operation was carried out with great efficiency, demonstrating the expertise and professionalism of the security forces, who have already gained experience in this fight. The assailants, evidently well-prepared and armed, were quickly subdued, thereby thwarting their plan to sow disorder.
During this operation, a significant amount of war material was seized, attesting to the dangerous nature of these individuals. This seizure will undoubtedly enable the military to conduct investigations in order to trace the group to which the two neutralized individuals belong.
Since the violent attack that occurred in April 2022 in Monsey, the Defense and Security Forces have reinforced their presence in the commune of Karimama. They remain vigilant in order to suppress any attempt by the enemy.
