Chad Defence Minister, Gen. Daoud Yaya Brahim, and the government’s General Secretary, Haliki Choua Mahamat, have resigned after two separate sex tapes allegedly showing the men in compromising positions were shared widely on social media.
An administration spokesman confirmed the development in a statement on Wednesday, 18 October, 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, 15 October and Monday, 16 October, 2023, 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.
