ONE JUST REPORTED NOW........Chibok girls: Army declares journalist Ahmed Sakilda, two others wanted

hehehehe....Following the abduction of several persons, including the female students of Government Secondary School Chibok in Borno by Boko Haram terrorists and failed appeals by the Federal Government for their unconditional release, the Nigerian Army has declared three individuals wanted. They are Ahmed Salkida, (Ambassador) Ahmed U. Bolori and Aisha Wakil.
Sakilda, a journalist, is believed to have direct contact with Boko Haram factional leader, Abubakar Shekau.

Army spokesman, Col. Sani Usman, said the trio were wanted to provide information on the conditions and the exact location of these girls.
A statement he signed further reads: “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 terrorists activities.
“This become necessary as a result of their link with the last two videos released by Boko Haram Terrorists and other findings of our preliminary investigations.
“There is no doubt that these individuals have links with Boko Haram Terrorists and have contacts 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 rescue them.
“We are therefore calling on all Nigerians and peace loving people to give us useful information on their whereabouts. We are also liaising with other security agencies for their arrest if they failed to turn up.”

Ahmed U Bolori who is among the three people that have been declared wanted by the Nigerian Army over the missing Chibok girls, has reportedly presented himself to the Nigerian Army at their Maiduguri command in Borno state.

This is according to twitter user, Dan Borno who is based in Borno state. Bolori, journalist Ahmad Salkida and one Aisha Wakil were declared wanted today by the Nigerian Army over the missing Chibok girls. The declaration comes hours after a recent video released by the Abubakar Shekau led faction of Boko Haram was sent exclusively to Ahmad Salkida. 

A new video showing Chibok girls has been released.
The 11-minute footage shows a Boko Haram member wielding an AK 47 rifle, with his face covered.
“If you think you have the might and capabibilty, come and free these girls, then we will show you what we are made of,” he said.

In the video, the sect passed a message across to the federal government that it should free Boko Haram members in custody in exchange for the Chibok girls.
He then gave the microphone to one of the girls who said: “What I can say is that our parents should take heart,” she spoke in the Kabaku language.
“Talk to the government to meet them (Boko Haram) so that we can be allowed to go home.
“Our parents should beg for our release. We are hungry; we are dying.”

The father of one of the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped from the remote area of Chibok more than two years ago said he recognised his daughter in a video released by Boko Haram on Sunday.

A spokesman for the Bring Back Our Girls movement, set up to demand the return of 276 schoolgirls kidnapped in April 2014, said he was “certain” of the identities of 10 other girls seen in the footage.

“When I heard her voice, I realised she is my daughter,” Kanu Yakubu told reporters in Abuja.

He was referring to Maida Yakubu, whom he identifies as the girl seen in the video choking back her tears as she describes an air strike by the Nigerian armed forces.

The girl speaks in the Chibok dialect.

Bring Back Our Girls spokesman Abubakar Abdullahi earlier on Sunday said at least one of the girls had been recognised by a member of the movement.

The number of girls identified from the video has now risen significantly, he said.

“We’re certain that these are the Chibok girls,” Abdullahi told AFP.

“We recognise up to 10 from the video,” Abdullahi said, adding that he is waiting for confirmation from the Nigerian government and parents of the girls before releasing any more names.

The video shows a masked man holding an assault rifle and dressed in military clothing.

In the background, several girls wearing Islamic clothing look visibly distressed and dab their eyes. One is holding a small baby.

Mother of Maida Yakubu, the Chibok girl who spoke in Kibaku language in the new video released by Boko Haram yesterday August 13th, couldn't hold back tears after she saw her daughter that has been in captivity for over two years. Maida's parents were at the BBOG's sit out in Abuja today. 

Former Minister of Education and Convener of the Bring Back Our Girls Group, Oby Ezekwesili,is  pictured above consoling Maida's mother. 

Aisha Wakil, (covered head to toe in burqua) is pictured with former President Jonathan during the inauguration of the committee on amnesty for Boko Haram on April 2013 in Abuja. Below is a 2013 report by Tony Akowe on the woman Boko Haram insurgents call "Mama."

In a region where women are given little attention, the announcement of the name of Aisha Wakil as a member of the Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the northern part of the country came to many as a surprise.

Even though not much is known about her, her name has consistently appeared on the list of people allegedly released by the Boko Haram insurgents as one of those to represent them in any form of dialogue or negotiation with the government.

 

In November last year, when the insurgents announced the names of prominent northerners who they wanted to represent them in negotiations with the Federal Government, Aisha Wakil and her husband, Justice Zanna Wakil of the Borno State judiciary, were on the list headed by former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari.

 

When the leader of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria, Sheikh Datti Ahmed, rejected his nomination into the committee, many Nigerians felt disappointed – especially in view of the fact that he is one of those that may have had any form of contact with members of the group. Ahmed was part of the botched peace deal and he believed that the government was not serious about peace with the insurgents.
