Pan-African and pro-Russian activist Kemi Seba has been arrested in South Africa.
Police say they are initiating the extradition process to Benin, where Seba is wanted for alleged incitement to rebellion following an attempted coup last year.
The arrest took place on Monday during a sting operation in Pretoria.
Seba, his son, and another man were detained.
The third man allegedly received $15,000 to help them cross into Zimbabwe.
The trio appeared in court on Wednesday, with Seba remaining in custody.
Benin issued an international arrest warrant in December for Seba, accusing him of incitement to rebellion after he supported a failed coup.
