Benin Republic has summoned a Nigerien diplomat following accusations by Abdourahamane Tchiani, Niger Republic’s military leader, that neighbouring countries are supporting terrorism in West Africa.

In a televised address, Tchiani alleged that Benin serves as a “rear base for terrorists seeking to destabilise Niger Republic”.

Benin’s foreign ministry dismissed the claims as baseless and announced the summoning of Niger’s chargé d’affaires in a statement on X.

“Due to the unfounded accusations made against our country, the chargee d’affaires of Niger has been summoned,” the statement reads.

“Benin remains committed to dialogue and fraternal collaboration between the two nations.”

An official letter has been sent to the diplomat by Olushegun Bakari, Beninese foreign minister.
