$2M payout for Presidents Doctor and his niece to poison the President foiled.

Benin Republic president’s doctor, Dr. Ibrahim Mama Cisse, his niece, Zouberatou Kora, and Benin's former Minister of Trade Moudjaidou Soumanou were a part of a failed plot to poison the president by changing his medicine with something toxic. The doctor and the niece were said to have been promised payment of almost $2million if they succeed in killing the president. It later emerged that Benin multimillionaire businessman, Patrice Talon, was the one who hired their services. Fortunately they didn't succeed. The plot to poison the president failed after his niece told her sister who then leaked it.
