Boko Haram: Journalists, two others declared wanted
As a fallout to the latest video released by the Islamist group, Boko Haram, the Nigerian Army, Sunday, declared a journalist alleged to have links with the insurgent group, Ahmed Sakilda, wanted.
Also declared wanted were two others, Amb. Ahmed U. Bolori and Aisha Wakil.
The
trio were declared wanted in connection with the abduction of over 200
students of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State in 2014.
A
statement by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani
Usman, said the wanted persons have information on the conditions and
the exact location of those girls.
“Therefore, the Nigerian Army hereby declares the two gentlemen and the lady wanted for interrogation.
“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
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.
“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,” Usman
said.
Usman also called on Nigerians and other peace-loving people to give useful information on the whereabouts of the suspects.
“We are also liaising with other security agencies for their arrest if they fail to turn up,” he said.
