Nigerian journalist wanted over Chibok girls' abduction by Whatelse(m) : 11:20 pm On Aug 16 |
Nigeria 's army has declared three people,
including a journalist, wanted for allegedly concealing information on more than 200 girls abducted from their school in Chibok in April 2014, a spokesman said Monday. Colonel Sani Usman told AFP that local journalist Ahmad Salkida had been in contact with the Islamists, as had Ahmed Bolori and Aisha Wakil. " There is no doubt that these individuals have links with Boko Haram terrorists and have contacts with them, " he said. " They must therefore come forward and tell us where the group is keeping the Chibok girls and other abducted persons to enable us to rescue them. " Usman said the military would work with other security agencies to bring in the suspects " if they fail to turn up". He added that authorities also want to talk to the suspects over a recent video released by Boko Haram on the girls. Salkida is said to have high-level contacts among the group's leaders and is believed to have been involved in failed talks between Boko Haram and the government of former president Goodluck Jonathan . On Sunday, Boko Haram released a video of the Chibok girls, showing some who are still alive and claiming that others died in air strikes. The video was the latest release from Boko Haram's embattled leader Abubakar Shekau, who this month denied claims that he has been replaced as the leader of the jihadist group. The video demanded the release of Boko Haram fighters held by the government in exchange for the kidnapped schoolgirls. The government said it was studying the footage. The mass kidnapping of the schoolgirls from the town of Chibok provoked global outrage and brought unprecedented attention to Boko Haram and its bl**dy quest to create an Islamic state in Nigeria's mainly-Muslim north. Throughout last year the military announced the rescue of hundreds of people, most of them women and children, who have been kidnapped by the Islamists. But the missing schoolgirls were not among them, despite several unconfirmed sightings. Boko Haram's seven-year insurgency has left some 20,000 people dead and forced at least 2.6 million others to flee their homes.

Founder of the Bring Back Our Girls
(BBOG) organization, Oby Ezekwesili has said that the group would not hesitate to march to the Presidential Villa everyday if that would lead to the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls. Ezekwesili made the comment following Boko Haram’s release of a video showing some of the girls alive. “We are not going to let up until this government acts. Let them get ready because every day we shall be marching to the (Presidential) villa. These girls were kidnapped in the course of getting education, which annoyed me to no end,†she said according to Punch. “It is on this basis of education that I became what I am today. If it means marching to the villa every day to demand the release of our chibok girls, so be it….Only three choices are available – negotiate to release our girls, use the military operation or a combination of the two. We don’t want to see a fourth video,†she added. The sect released the video, which showed 50 of the girls, on Sunday, August 14, 2016. The video also shows one terrorist who accused the Nigerian Army of killing some of the girls during an airstrike.

Chibok Girls ‘Buhari administration more clueless than Jonathan’s,’ Parent says by Whatelse(m) : 11:26 pm On Aug 16 |
Esther Yakubu, the mother of one of the
Chibok girls who was shown in a video released by Boko Haram on Sunday, August 14, 2016, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is more clueless than that of his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan. Esther’s daughter, Dorcas, along with 49 others, were shown standing with a member of the terrorist sect which kidnapped the girls in April 2014. “I wanted her [Dorcas] to have the best of education, I planned to sponsor her education to whatever level she wanted, but she could not sit for her final examinations because she was abducted,†she told Punch. “Boko Haram in the video asked the government to release their members so that they could release our girls. If the government knows that it cannot handle the insurgency, it should invite other countries. It is not a crime to seek assistance in a war. It is a shame for them to allow our daughters to languish in captivity for over two years. “I don’t regret sending her to school, but I regret putting her in boarding school. If she was a day student, she would be home with me that night. The abduction affected her because she was in boarding school,†she added. Esther, who said she recognized 20 other Chibok girls in the video, urged the government to release Boko Haram detainees in exchange for the girls. Meanwhile, Bring Back Our Girls founder, Oby Ezekwesili has said that the group is ready to march to the Presidential Villa every day to speed up the girls’ rescue.
