Chad’s defence minister, Daoud Yaya Brahim and the general secretary, Haliki Choua Mahamat on Wednesday tendered their resignations amid sex scandals, Reuters reports.
The defence minister and the general secretary’s resignations were confirmed by the government’s spokesman in a statement after two separate sex tapes purporting to show the men were shared widely on social media.
According to the statement, the resignation letters were accepted by Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo.
The tapes, which went viral on Sunday and Monday, allegedly showed the males indulging in personal acts with other persons. Reuters was unable to independently verify the information and was unable to reach either guy for comment.
Sex scandals are uncommon in Chad, a Muslim-majority country with rigid social norms.
