SUN executive director of Communication, Justina Arubi while addressing a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, August 16, 2016, said such antics must be condemned by professional bodies which any of the trio is claiming affiliation to.

The Nigeria Army Monday, said troops on Operation Lafiya Dole, killed 16 suspected Boko Haram militants in a repelled attack at Kangarwa, Borno State.
Boko Haram used 44 children to carry out suicide attacks in West Africa previous year, up from four in 2014, with some as young as eight, mostly girls, detonating bombs in schools and markets, according to the United Nations children’s agency UNICEF.
Nkeki’s mother spent two months with her following her escape but has now returned to Chibok.
“Similarly, their fellow members in the intellectual wing of Boko Haram had desperately tried to paint the trio as victims; paint Salkida as a journalists being vilified for his doggedness and the other two as genuine negotiators”.
