In February 2024, the Chadian government blamed the PSF for an attack on the offices of the Chadian intelligence services, which had caused "several deaths" in N'Djamena. This attack came after the arrest of a PSF member accused of "attempted assassination against the president of the Supreme Court"[https://www.francetvinfo.fr/monde/afrique/tchad/tchad-plusieurs-morts-dans-une-attaque-contre-une-agence-des-services-de-renseignement_6393463.html Tchad : plusieurs morts dans une attaque contre une agence des services de renseignement, France Info and AFP, 28 February 2024] and a day after the announcement that the presidential elections will be held on 6 May. After 33 years of the power being in the hands of the Déby family, the elections can offer continuation to the son of Idriss Déby.{{cite web|date=20 April 2021|title=Chad's Idriss Deby, a longstanding French ally in the troubled Sahel|url=https://www.france24.com/en/africa/20210420-chad-s-idriss-deby-a-longstanding-french-ally-in-the-troubled-sahel|access-date=20 April 2021|website=France 24|language=en|archive-date=20 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420120158/https://www.france24.com/en/africa/20210420-chad-s-idriss-deby-a-longstanding-french-ally-in-the-troubled-sahel|url-status=live}}

After the news of both the shooting and arrest of Ahmed Torabi, the party member accused of the assassination attempt, emerged, Yaya Dillo Djérou claimed that the attacks were staged by the Chadian government. Djérou said that Torabi was executed by security forces after his arrest, with his body being placed outside the offices of the Chadian intelligence services. Other PSF members and Torabi's relatives went there to retrieve his body, but were ambushed by soldiers, resulting in several deaths.{{cite web|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/28/chad-announces-several-deaths-after-foiled-intelligence-office-attack|title=Troops deployed, internet shut down in Chad’s capital amid deadly violence|publisher=Al Jazeera|date=28 February 2024}}
