Ahmad Salkida
The Nigerian journalist, Ahmed Salkida, who was
declared wanted along with two others-Ahmed Bolori and Aisha Wakil-by the
Nigerian Army over Boko Haram’s latest video, has been arrested by the security
operatives.
Salkida had said that he knew he would be arrested because he had been declared
wanted by the State Security Service (SSS). Salkida allegedly received two video clips from Boko
Haram before they were released to the public. Boko Haram believe in his
objectivity as an investigative journalist, having previously interviewed
Mohammed Yusuf, the founding leader of Boko Haram.
