Saturday around 2 p.m., Allah Ridy Koné, summoned by telephone, entered the general intelligence building
A few hours later, officers came out to collect the keys to his car and the phones inside. His family has had no news since and says they do not understand why he was arrested by an intelligence service.
Neither the judicial authorities nor the presidency, to which the DGRI depends, have communicated on this subject. But several sources mention the sale of land as part of his duties as general director of the Post Office.
Founder and president of a private university, Allah Ridy Koné is also an executive of the MPS, the ruling party. He actively supported the campaign of President Mahamat Déby.
Some of those close to him see behind this affair a “ settling of political scores », against a backdrop of local rivalries ahead of the legislative elections on December 29.
