Timeline
In 1962, Maga named Arouna Mama as the minister of the interior and defense. Mama held this position until a coup toppled Maga in 1963. The following year, Mama started riots in support of returning Maga to the presidency in Parakou, where his support was strongest. This led to him being imprisoned by Christophe Soglo, the acting president at the time. Mama was also accused of embezzlement. He was an educational inspector until a presidential council was established in 1970 under Maga's leadership, in which he was again named minister of the interior and defense. With another coup in 1972, he lost his position as minister and was found guilty of embezzlement. On 31 December 1973, Mama returned 6.6 million CFA francs and was released from prison. He died in 1974.

Reelected as a deputy in the elections of December 11, 1960, he was once again entrusted with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Defense.
