Ahmed Salkida, the journalist known to have access to the top Boko Haram leaders, has disclosed that the administration of Muhammadu Buhari had three times invited him for the talks.
Salkida speaking through his Twitter account promised to unveiled all details very soon. “It will be revealing,” the journalist said.
Salkida is a Nigerian journalist who has extensively covered the conflict between the government and the deadly Boko Haram sect.
Muhammadu Buhari defeated Goodluck Jonathan in presidential elections in March-April 2015 promising to tackle the Boko Haram.
Buhari gave his army an end of 2015 deadline by which to reclaim all Nigerian territory held by the insurgents. Despite the fact that the terrorists continue to carry out deadly attacks, the president announced on December 24, 2015, that Nigeria had “technically” won the war against the insurgency.
President Buhari later said he would be willing to negotiate without preconditions with the Boko Haram sect over the release of the Chibok girls “if a credible leader of Boko Haram can be established.”
Since then only one Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki, was released by the Nigerian army. The fate of more than 200 others schoolgirls still remains unknown.
