RE: NIGERIAN ARMY DECLARES AHMAD SALKIDA, (AMBASSADOR) AHMED U BOLORI AND AISHA WAKIL WANTED
My attention has
been drawn to a public notice put out by the Nigerian Army and signed
by Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director, Army Public Relations.
The statement declaring me wanted seeks culpable grounds to punish me on
account of "last two videos released by Boko Haram terrorists and other
findings..." by the Army.
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. Equally, my total allegiance and sacrifice to the Federal
Republic of Nigeria is self evident. I have stayed within the creed of
professional journalism in my work.
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.
Finally, the Army is aware that I am not in Nigeria
presently. In the coming days I will 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.
Thank you.
