Ahmad Salkida, a Nigerian journalist known for his access to Boko Haram
commanders, was declared wanted in August 2016 by the Nigerian Army in
connection with the abducted Chibok girls and the terrorist group.
Salkida who has extensively covered the conflict between the government
and Boko Haram, released an exclusive video sent to him, which he said
confirmed that the Chibok girls were alive but some died in recent
