Chad’s defence minister, government’s general secretary resign over leaked sex tapes
Chad’s defence minister and the government’s general secretary resigned on Wednesday after two sex tapes purporting to show the men were shared widely on social media.
Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo accepted the resignations of Defence Minister Daoud Brahim and the government’s general secretary Haliki Choua Mahamat.
This was disclosed in a statement by the prime minister’s spokesman. However, no further details were shared.
The videos circulated on Sunday and Monday purportedly showed the men engaging in intimate acts with other people.
Reuters could not independently verify the material and immediately reach either man for comments.
Sex scandals are rare in Chad, a mostly Muslim country with conservative social morals.
