Ahmad Salkida has advised President Goodluck Jonathan not to involve force in attempting to rescue the over 200 girls abducted from Chibok last month.
The respected journalist after consultations with Boko Haram informed the President that the girls were safe and well fed.
Sources with knowledge on Salkida’s talks with the sect have said, “From the beginning, Salkida never wanted to come because of previous experience but after consultations he made up his mind and gave conditions which the government complied, of nothing will happen to him on entry and exit at airport which the President issued a letter of indemnity.
“On landing, he commenced work and made contacts and at the end gets position of the sect and also briefed the President the condition the abducted girls are in. The girls were fine and well fed. It was a dangerous attempt but as Muslims we believe in Allah we served and everything was smooth with Salkida in reaching the sect.”
“The young man told the President that force will not bring the girls alive, and that the sect too have long list of their members and their families killed by Nigerian troops. And there is need to have a common ground so that the girls will be freed and their members too in detention freed as well. After concluding his own part and assignment he left.”
