N'Djamena: Chad's former prime minister Succes Masra, a critic of the ruling authorities of the central African nation, was taken by force from his home early Friday, his party said.
"Succes Masra was just abducted by military force today, May 16 at 5:56 am" from his home, which also serves as headquarters for his party, Les Transformateurs (The Transformers), said a post on his official Facebook page.
The post also featured an unverified video that showed him leaving his residence surrounded by around a dozen armed men in military uniform.
Masra, who served as prime minister of Chad from January to May 2024, faced off against President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno in presidential elections last May.
He took 18.5 percent of the vote against Deby's 61.3 percent, but claimed victory.
