General Daoud Yaya Brahim, the Defence Minister of Chad, and the government’s General Secretary, Haliki Choua Mahamat, have tendered their resignations after reports of alleged sex tapes involving them were circulated online.
An administration spokesman confirmed the development in a statement on Wednesday, October 18, 2023.
Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo accepted the resignations of the two men without giving further details, Kebzabo’s spokesman said in a statement.
According to Reuters, the videos, which were circulated on Sunday and Monday, purportedly showed the men engaging in intimate acts with other people.
“Reuters could not independently verify the material and was not immediately able to reach either men for comment,” the publication said.
