The Nation Newspaper reported on November 4, 2025, that Chad has shut its border with Nigeria.
A counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, stated that Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno ordered a complete military lockdown along the Nigerian border due to intelligence suggesting terrorist elements from Northern Nigeria were preparing to flee into his country.
No armed group or foreign force will be allowed to enter Chadian soil under any disguise.
