Boko Haram Attackers Killed By Chadian Forces After Invading Presidential Palace

Several Boko Haram fighters who invaded Chad’s presidential palace in N’Djamena on Wednesday have been neutralised by the country’s Directorate General of Security Services and Internal Exile, DGSSIE.

Confirming the deaths to security analyst and counter-insurgency expert in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama, intelligence sources said the attack was swiftly contained by Chadian security forces, and the situation is now under control.

A video circulating on social media shows elements of the terrorist group being shot at by the responding forces, with several attackers also taken into custody.

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.
