N'DJAMENA — Chadian security authorities have intensified operations against criminal networks in the capital, with police reporting the arrest of 45 suspected offenders and the seizure of more than 20 million CFA francs.

The arrests followed security operations targeting individuals suspected of involvement in various criminal activities in N’Djamena. Authorities presented the suspects as part of an effort to disrupt networks contributing to insecurity in the capital.

Police say the operation demonstrates a renewed focus on public security and the fight against organised crime. The seizure of cash and other materials is expected to form part of ongoing investigations into the activities of the suspected networks.

The crackdown comes amid wider efforts by authorities to improve security in N’Djamena, where residents and businesses continue to demand safer neighbourhoods and stronger law enforcement.

Security officials are expected to continue investigations before determining the legal status of those arrested.

The latest operation puts public security back at the centre of national attention as authorities seek to disrupt criminal networks and strengthen safety in Chad’s capital.
