The kidnapped schoolgirls would have
regained their freedom by now but President Goodluck Jonathan called off a
prisoner swap deal with Boko Haram at the last minute, British tabloid The Mail
on Sunday has reported.
Dubai-exiled Nigerian journalist, Ahmad
Salkida — who reportedly fled to the United Arab Emirates last year following
threats to his life on account of his closeness to the militants — was said to
have been appointed by both the government and the extremists to broker an
agreement for the release of the girls in exchange for Boko Haram members in
detention.
"Sources in the Nigerian capital
Abuja described how Shekau had agreed to bring the girls out of their forest
camps in the remote north-east of the country in the early morning and take them
to a safe location for the prisoner swap,” the paper wrote. “They would have
been dropped off in a village, one group at a time, and left there while their
kidnappers disappeared. There was to be a signal to a mediator at another
location to bring in the prisoners.”
Curiously, the federal government was
only expected to release 100 “non-combatant, low-level sympathisers” of Boko
Haram, rather than commanders and foot soldiers, the newspaper reported. About
2000 Boko Haram members are said to be in detention.
Accused of being a Boko Haram
sympathiser, the Borno-born journalist has always insisted he only maintains a
“professional relationship” with certain members of the group whom he knew long
before it became violent. However, he was reportedly persuaded by the
president’s aides to embark on a “secretive and dangerous” trip home to meet
Shekau, after the president “personally signed a letter of indemnity”
protecting him from arrest by security agents. But while attending the May 17,
2014 Paris terrorism summit with leaders of four African countries and
representatives of the European Union, United Kingdom, and the United States of
America, Jonathan called home to halt the deal, the paper said.
The about-face, it is believed, has
angered Shekau, raising fears that the girl might now be endangered. “The next
video we see from the terrorists could show the girls being killed one by one,”
The Mail on Sunday quoted an intelligence source as saying.
The turnaround may as well spell the
end of any peace deal with Boko Haram, as Salkida is about the group’s
most-trusted and unbiased go-between with the federal government. “He is
probably the only civilian with access to Shekau. There is trust between them
and Salkida had only one aim — to get the schoolgirls out,” the source further
said. “He reported afterwards that the group of girls he saw were alive and
well, and being adequately fed and sheltered.
They told him all they wanted was to go
home.” Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati was quoted by the newspaper as
saying he was not aware of any attempted rescue plan.
So do you want to tell us that government knows where this people are hiden in the forest, so who are theses boko haram its government?

Who is this foolish write. Useless people
ReplyDeleteWe always said it. GEJ is part of BH, so don't bother he will be exposed soon.
ReplyDeleteStory. If BH is serious to swap, they must also show good faith as is done in every negotiation. Since the abduction they have been on rampage. Two bombs in Nyanya, in Jos not to talk about the killings in several villages. This does not sound like people who want to negotiate. As for this write up its total rubbish. Where did they get these fake informations?
