Wanted trios: Ahmed Bolori arrives military office in Maiduguri, Salkida, reacts after being declared wanted

One of the three persons declared wanted by the army after the release of a new Boko Haram video over the weekend Ahmed Bolori, has arrived Army command Headquarters, Maiduguri in Borno state and was told to wait until later before they take him in for interrogations
Meanwhile, Ahmad Salkida, the Nigerian journalist also declared wanted by the Nigerian Army over Boko Haram’s latest video said he had commenced preparations to return to the country to honour the invitation.

In a statement he released on Monday, Mr. Salkida said the Army knew he was not in the country prior to being declared wanted, adding that his journey home would be quickened if the government could fund his trip.

Salkida said; “Clearly, my status as a Nigerian journalist who has reported extensively, painstakingly and consistently on the Boko Haram menace in the country since 2006 is an open book known to Nigerians and the international community,”.

“As a testimony to the credible and professional values of my access, since May 2015, l have been to Nigeria three times on the invitation of Federal Government agencies. I made personal sacrifices for the release of our Chibok daughters,”

 “The Army is aware that I am not in Nigeria presently. In the coming days seek to get a flight to Abuja and avail myself to the Army authorities. Indeed, my return will be hastened if the military sends me a ticket,”.

Mr. Salkida was declared wanted alongside two others on Sunday for their alleged ties to Boko Haram sect.
Mr. Salkida, Ahmed Bolori and Aisha Wakil allegedly committed offences that contravened the Terrorism (Prevention) Act of 2011, by not providing information about the group.
