Boko Haram Attackers Killed by Chadian Forces After Storming Presidential Palace

Several Boko Haram fighters who attempted to storm Chad’s presidential palace in N’Djamena on Wednesday were neutralized 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 reported that the attack was quickly contained by Chadian security forces, and the situation is now under control.

A video circulating on social media shows members 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 have not yet released details about the casualties.

Reports indicate that some of the attackers were captured alive, which could provide valuable intelligence for future operations.

In recent days, security has been heightened, with the government shutting down networks to prevent any potential breaches of security.
