Ahmad Salkida a Nigeria journalist who is wanted by the military over alleged links to the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, has released a statement saying he is willing to be questioned by the army.
Salkida had previously denied links with the group and is currently in Dubai.
He said, “My total allegiance and sacrifice to the Federal Republic of Nigeria is self evident. I have stayed within the creed of professional journalism in my work… I made personal sacrifices for the release of our Chibok daughters.”
“Finally, the army is aware that I am not in Nigeria presently. In the coming days I will seek to get a flight to Abuja and avail myself to the army authorities. Indeed, my return will be hastened if the military sends me a ticket.”
