Several Boko Haram fighters who attempted to storm Chad’s presidential palace in N’Djamena on Wednesday have been neutralized by Chadian security forces, the Directorate General of Security Services and Internal Exile (DGSSIE) confirmed.
Intelligence sources reported to security analyst Zagazola Makama that the attack was quickly contained by Chadian forces, restoring control over the situation.
A video circulating on social media shows responding security personnel engaging the attackers, with several members of the terrorist group captured alive.
However, Makama stated: “The DGSSIE, Chad’s Directorate General of Security Services and Internal Exile, demonstrated their efficiency in neutralizing the threat, ensuring the safety of government institutions and key personnel.”
The publication noted that Chadian authorities had not yet disclosed details about the casualties.
Reports suggest that some of the attackers were captured alive, potentially providing valuable intelligence for future operations.
Security has been heightened in recent days, with the government switching off networks to prevent any suspected breach of security.
