The Nigerian Army has declared the trio of Ahmed
Salkida (Ambassador), Ahmed U. Bolori and Aisha Wakil wanted. According
to a statement signed by Colonel Sani K. Usman, Acting Director, Army
Public Relations, the trio have been declared wanted because they are in
possession of information on the conditions and the exact location of
schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram from Government Secondary School,
Chibok, Borno State, in 2014. The Army said its action is based on
relevant laws.
"We are relying on the relevant laws of the land and in particular
the Terrorism Prevention Act 2011 (as amended), where Nigerians could be
punished for failure to disclose information about terrorists or
terrorist activities.
"This becomes necessary as a result of their link with the last two
videos released by Boko Haram terrorists and other findings of our
preliminary investigations," the statement said.
There Army added that it is certain that the wanted persons have
links with Boko Haram terrorists and have contact with
them.
"They must, therefore, come forward and tell us where the group is
keeping the Chibok Girls and other abducted persons to enable us to
rescue them," the statement added.
The Army called on the general public to provide information on the
whereabouts of the wanted persons, adding that it is working with other
security agencies for their arrest if they fail to turn up. Mr. Salkida
is a notable Nigerian journalist who has remained a credible source of
information about Boko Haram activities. He has occasionally acted as a
negotiator between the Nigerian government and Boko Haram militants
betfore going on exile. Mr. Salkida has remained active from exile
providing up to date information and free advice on Boko Haram
activities.
