A horde of daredevil Boko Haram terrorists on Wednesday launched a daring invasion on Chad’s presidential palace in N’Djamena.
However, the attack was foiled and many of the terrorists were neutralised by the country’s elite security force, the Directorate General of Security Services and Internal Exile, DGSSIE.
Security analyst and counter-insurgency expert in Lake Chad, Zagazola Makama, disclosed the incident.
According to him, intelligence sources said the attack was instantly repelled 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 of the incident and the number of 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.
