Muslim Mohammed Yusuf was arrested alongside five other suspected members of the movement, which was founded in neighbouring Nigeria a few years before his birth by his father, radical preacher Mohammed Yusuf.
Chadian police confirmed having arrested six Boko Haram members but could not say if one of them was the older Yusuf's son.
“The team was headed by Muslim, the youngest son of the late Boko Haram founder,“ said the source.
The source added that Yusuf was an infant when his father was killed in 2009 during a military crackdown on Boko Haram that left some 800 people dead, giving his age as 18.
Yusuf, who goes by the alias Abdrahman Mahamat Abdoulaye, is the younger brother of ISWAP leader Habib Yusuf, alias Abu Mus'ab Al-Barnawi.
“He and the team were arrested by Chadian security. They are six in number,“ he told AFP.
He said the cell was arrested “a few months ago”.
