NA are going about this issue the wrong way
Declaring him wanted would send a wrong signal in intelligence gathering

Why declare him wanted when they should have simply invited him secretly and see how they can work with him to knock bh out since he knows alot about them. Now they will abuse, intimidate and brutalize him.

Ok that one follow

My major concern is the economic terrorism going on in this country. Millions of Nigerians are about dying of hunger and starvation under buhari.

I believe this guy is getting to the root of boko dats y the army is framing him up to silence him

December 31st, 2016?

He is a journalist, so I wonder the fuss about him having link with Boko Haram. It is well known that some European, America and Middle Eastern journalists, interviewed Osama Bin Laden and Omar Mullah without anybody saying they members of Al-Qaeda or the Taliban. Na only Nigeria own, dey always get k-leg.

I remember this guy was used by APC to scorld GEJ during the ill-fated cease fire btw govt and boko haram back in 2014.

Believe it or not there're forces within the Nigerian army that don't want boko haram to be destroyed.

This fool was among the persons who deceived Jonathan with fake negotiations. At the end of the day, the govt compelled the military to cease fire in the north east, despite objections from the military chiefs. They went ahead to declare cease fire, making the bokoharam who were being dealt deadly blows and surrendering at the time to regroup and return more deadly, carrying out killings that have never been witnessed by any terrorist group in the history of man kind. Now that the group is facing serious crisis, the same fool is beginning to surface with negotiation terms from bokoharam.

You haven't made any sense

While you have NO SENSE!!!

I wont comment ....all these descendants of Ishmael keep troubling the world wherever they are....

wait oo
is this not the same guy apc hailed in gej administration?

This guy has taken "Antesunate" for this one.

They want to silence him because he's reporting against the official government narrative that Boko Haram has been defeated. However, he's doing his job as a journalist, reporting stuff about Boko Haram.

Number one rule in journalism is to protect your sources no matter what. If anything at all, he's someone the nigerian army could covertly work with to get information, but they've now blown their cover.

I pray Sadilka and his family survive this and he goes back to investigative journalism.

Number one rule in medicine is to treat and respect the privacy of your patients. Does that mean you would treat a terrorist and protect his / her identity?

[b]No doubt this fella has wide exposure to the terror networks. He foresaw their emergence and proliferation.

But I sometimes query his motivation. For him to always be the courier of information from the BH camp means he has either earned the trust of the insurgents, a captive of some sort or a truly pledged up member.

Regardless, keeping him alive and negotiating a pathway is a necessity... For now.

Our concern as Nigerian citizens, as members of society with human feelings is to support our military against aggression.

For those saying he is aware of sponsorship of Boko Haram they can not be further from the truth.

Salkida's write ups on this sect predates Jonathan and even Yar'adua.
He has always spoken about a pugnacious trend of radical Islam being preached up north where in fact the elites did everything to prevent a public platform for acceptance.

Unfortunately, just as many down south have found some tacit support for Boko Haram as witnessed here on Nairaland, we have had the youth, the impressionable find succour in this underworld society.

Even he cannot conclusively say why this is so, other than persons in power ignoring their existence or grievance.

Please read up articles from this guy before reaching a conclusion. [/b]

which one is economic terrorism again? haba

HAH:
He is well known, the FG has been using him previously on many occasion, so what changed to have declared him wanted, why not invite him if he fails then declare him wanted.

My problem with soldiers is gra gra

I taya oo, abi??

If he were a B.H member he wouldn't have relocated his family.I think the govt were not sincere with their negotiations the guy saw the implication of their action on him and decided not to give government informations again.now N.A want to intimidate him but the media will stand up again for him

The Nigerian army on Sunday declared Ahmad Salkida, a Nigerian journalist, and two others wanted, owing to their “links” to Boko Haram.

Of the three people declared wanted, Salkida is seen as the main target, after he tweeted a link to the latest Boko Haram video showing about 50 Chibok schoolgirls.

WHO IS SALKIDA?

Salkida is a 41-year-old Nigerian journalist from Borno state who had previously worked for Daily Trust and Blueprint newspapers, with a strong focus on reporting terrorism in Nigeria.

Blueprint, it would be recalled, was the newspaper that published the picture of the suicide bomber that attacked the Nigeria Police Force headquarters in Abuja on June 16, 2011, narrowly missing the then inspector general, Hafiz Ringim.

That was the first known case of suicide bombing in Nigeria.

According to Salkida, his first training as a reporter started with Insider Weekly, a newspaper in Abuja, back in 2001. He got his job with the newspaper with a primary school certificate, and a bout of valuable information.

He was born into a Christian family, and said he was a Christian for a good part of his teenage years, before moving to “free-thinking”, and converting to Islam in 1997.

Salkida is the only Nigerian journalist to have interviewed the Mohammed Yusuf and Abubakar Shekua, leaders of the Boko Haram sect. In one of his revelations, Salkida said Yusuf appeared excited to feature in a newspaper and mulled the idea of floating one himself.

In an interview, Salkida said Yusuf found his life story and how he met and married my his wife within five days as “remarkable”.

HOW HE GOT TIES WITH BOKO HARAM

Salkida, who wrote his first report on Yusuf back in July 2006 – a decade ago – said he got to know about Mohammed Alli and Yusuf, in 2005, after one of his mother’s friend came complaining that her son dropped out of the university to join a local Iimam.


In an report by Financial Times, Salkida said he tried convincing the student to return to school, but he would not listen, and went on to introduce him to Yusuf, who he found to be a “brilliant orator, influenced by the teachings of Ibn Taymiyya, a 13th century cleric.

Salkida, who has repeatedly said he is not a member of the sect, said he went on to pray in Yusuf’s mosque, which was named after Ibn Taymiyya, and reported the “signals” of the “monster”, which was later to come.

In his association with Yusuf, he met Shekau, who was Yusuf’s deputy and a strong scholar.

“Shekau was always studying and writing, and was more devoted and modest than anyone else,” Sakilda said.

“He would only wear cheap clothes and did not accept even to drive a car, preferring a motorbike. Even when Boko Haram was peaceful, he was somehow more feared than Yusuf.”

ESCAPING DEATH AND ‘WATCHING’ YUSUF DIE

Speaking in Dakar, Senegal, in 2012, Salkida related his experience on reporting terrorism in Nigeria and Africa. He said he was notified by the sect, hours before one of its gruesome attacks in 2009.

Salkida claimed to have alerted local authorities, who turned deaf ears to his claims and arrested him for fraternising with Boko Haram and its leaders.
“On Tuesday, 29 July, 2009, at the height of the Boko Haram mayhem, after I informed the Police of my intention to embark on a reporting trip to the Boko Haram enclave in Maiduguri to interview Mohammed Yusuf, the local authorities practically declared war against me and my organisation,” he said.

“I was arrested accused of fraternising with Boko Haram at the seat of power of in the state.”

He said he was to be shot by two police officers who went into an argument on “who to pull the trigger” but were stopped by the governor who “did not want to see a corpse at the government house”.

He was detained by the police, who he claimed later arrested Yusuf and killed him behind his (Salkida’s) cell.

PREDICTING FEMALE SUICIDE BOMBERS

Long before female suicide bombers became the norm, Salkida had warned in 2012, that women may soon enrol with the sect, due to the state of the nation and her military.



“A woman once stopped this reporter in Maiduguri and said, ‘I was told you have access to Boko Haram, please take my telephone number and give them,” he said.

“‘I lost my husband and two of his brothers in the hands of some soldiers’ right before my eyes and the trauma made me to have a miscarriage. I want to kill as many soldiers as possible before they kill me.’ If care is not taken women may soon join the band of suicide bombers in Nigeria!”

He said Yusuf was also against democracy, and governments and institutions, whose constitution did not tally with the Quran.

THE MAN WHO DARED THREE PRESIDENTS

If he has a hobby one could guess, it may just be daring presidents and calling their bluff. In 2013, while the Nigerian government was seeking a ceasefire with Boko Haram, Goodluck Jonathan said the insurgents were ghosts, but Salkida came out to say otherwise.

“They are human beings like us. I told you about my contact with many of them. So am I in contact with ghosts?

“When I single handedly facilitated the Dr. Datti Ahmed’s attempts to dialogue by the special Grace of God, did I have meetings with ghosts? Do Nigerians believe in ghosts?

In 2015, Idris Deby, Cameroonian president, said Shekau was dead and that “Mahamat Daoud who is said to have replaced Abubakar Shekau and wants to negotiate with the Nigerian government.”


Salkida said: “Idris Deby is wrong now as before when he deceived former president Jonathan in phantom negotiation. Shekau is alive and leads ISWAP or BH”.

On December 31, 2016, after a media chat where President Muhammadu Buhari said he had no intelligence about the Chibok schoolgirls, Salkida also said Buhari was living in a bubble.

“What happened to the video evidence former President Jonathan received less than two months into the abduction of the girls that almost saw the release of the abducted girls in a swap deal – or is everything Jonathan too dirty for this government to try its hands on?

“My understanding of the Buhari administration as it relates to the negotiations of the abducted school girls is that they are living in a bubble. They want everything to work for them like ABCD: no hitches, no obstacles.”

Salkida, a father of four is said to be in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as an asylum seeker, and a grocery trader.

May he ever be caught by the local and international forces.

He looks like one of them...... am sure he is one of them (BH)

My brother, you never hear: Nigeria is a joke! Ordinary Nigerians are brought up to believe those in positions of influence and power somehow are better people than anyone else. Such lies

There's something about his looks I'm still trying to figure out. He looks bad somehow. Well, let's see how it goes.

I've read articles, even been to his website. If anything, the army is doing now, what it has done from the beginning of the war on terror, using brutish force to punish the innocent. It was on this premise that Sakilda predicted in 2012 that Boko Haram would have voluntary female suicide bombers.

I'm more worried about the approach of the Nigerian Army than any other thing and their high handedness will cost us in the long run.

Yes.

Don't talk about codes you know nothing about.

The client privacy privilege accorded attorneys, codes of journalist, Hippocratic oath of doctors, and ethics of allied health professionals are unflavored principles of conduct.

An ethical attorney would not report any incriminating information told him by a client in client-attorney privilege capacity, even if that client is Al-Baghdadi. Journalists protect their source no matter what. An ethical doctor would treat the devil if he was human. If the person treated committed crimes, he or she should be made well enough to stand for his or her crimes. It is a crime for a doctor to indulge in mercy killing.

So, don't make inferences that are untrue.
