The name of the president of the Panafrcan Business Forum, Ladislas Agbesi has been at the heart of a buzz on social networks in Benin since this Sunday. Recent rumors claiming the arrest of the former presidential candidate, circulated on various platforms, thus raising questions among the public.
The buzz is viral. The publication on various platforms mentions “an arrest of Ladis Agbesi in Paris”. Monday, LSI AFRICA has verified the information, and we are entitled to affirm that to this day, no official information or communication from the competent French authorities confirms the arrest of the Beninese businessman in Paris. What is true, end December 2023, Ladislas Agbesi arrived on French territory from the United Arab Emirates.
In Paris, according to our information, he had several interviews with French economic operators, personalities from the French political-media world. He was even received live on the set of the Vox AFRICA channel in the 8 p.m. television news at the beginning of January. Very involved in the crisis in Sudan, the Beninese remains very active in the diplomatic environment in East Africa and south of the Sahara.
Reached by phone this Monday morning, Ladislas Agbesi did not wish to address the subject but, prefers to classify it in the infox category. "I'm Ok. I have no problem with anyone and I regret that this kind of manipulation comes from my country, The Benin. Why ? I don't know", did he declare.
