‘Release Their Video If Your claims Are True’, Journalist Dares FG Over Chibok Girls

The surviving crime journalist, Ahmad Salkida, known for his thorough investigations on Boko Haram’s activities and even revealing their moves, have boldly asked the Nigerian Government to come up with video proofs to discredit his claim that not more than fifteen Chibok girls out of the over two hundred abducted are still alive.

In remembrance of the schoolgirls that were abducted by Boko Haram in Yobe four years ago, Salkida revealed via Twitter on Saturday that:

“I regret to state here that only 15 out of the 113 #Chibokgirls are alive today, based on my investigations in the last three months.”

“What is the status of the remaining 15 girls as far as negotiations are concerned?”.

Garba Shehu, the media aide to President Buhari asked Nigerians to disregard the claim as their facts gathered say otherwise.

The defence headquarters had also dismissed Salkida’s claims, calling it an attempt to discourage the government.

Reacting, Salkida, in a tweet on Sunday challenged the government to provide a video evidence that the schoolgirls are still alive.

“What I don’t get is, did Govt provide life saving drugs, bulletproof vests and bunkers for the #Chibokgirls in captivity amidst harsh conditions, daily crossfires and bombardments? I threw a challenge, Govt or the insurgents can only refute me with a proof of life video,”
he wrote.
