Reports claim cars belonging to the presidency have been found riddled with bullet holes near the home of President Roch Marc Christian Kabore in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Kabore has reportedly been detained by mutinying soldiers. Some troops in the West African nation have demanded the sacking of military chiefs and more resources to fight Islamist militants.
“Last night there was gunfire heard in the vicinity of the president’s home and there [had] been a helicopter overhead pretty much all evening until about four o’clock in the morning,” said Associated Press journalist, San Mednick, in Ouagadougou.
