Salkida, who was on exile in the UAE, was arrested by members of the security forces as he arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, two days ago.

This was disclosed via a statement released by Army spokesperson, Sani Usman. Meanwhile, the police say gunmen have kidnapped 15 oil workers near Nigeria’s petroleum capital of Port Harcourt in the latest apparent hostage-for-ransom incident.
But Falana fumed, yesterday, claiming that the authorities had denied him access to Salkida.
“The Boko Haram suspect on the wanted list number 105, Muhammed Bulama, has been arrested by troops on Tuesday 6th September 2016 in Yobe state”, he said.
“Consequently, appeal was made for their unconditional release by the Federal Government”.
“Therefore, the Nigerian Army hereby declare the two gentlemen and the lady wanted for interrogation”.
“During preliminary investigation, the suspected terrorist personally confirmed his photograph on the wanted list and further revealed that he specialized on rearing animals for the terrorist group”.

Mr. Salkida was accused of aiding Boko Haram and hoarding information useful to the army in facilitating the rescue of the Chibok Schoolgirls. They must therefore come forward and tell us where the group is keeping the Chibok Girls and other abducted persons to enable us rescue them.
