The Chadian government has announced the immediate closure of its border with Nigeria, citing security concerns following reports of alleged U.S. military plans in West Africa.

Military sources in N’Djamena confirmed on Monday that President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno ordered a total military lockdown along the border after intelligence reports indicated that terrorist elements from northern Nigeria were attempting to cross into Chad.

The Chadian army has reportedly been placed on full alert, with troops and armoured vehicles deployed across major border routes connecting both nations.

President Déby was quoted as saying that “no armed group or foreign force will be allowed to enter Chadian soil under any disguise.”

The decision comes amid heightened regional tension and speculation surrounding potential U.S. military operations in parts of West Africa.

Security analysts described the border closure as a proactive move to protect Chadian sovereignty and prevent infiltration by armed groups seeking to exploit instability in the region.
