Spokesman for the Army, Colonel Sani Usman, said that the suspects had information on the conditions and the exact location of these girls. He added that two recent incidents had pointed to the fact that the suspects were connected to the terrorist group.
His words:
“The Nigerian Army hereby declare the two gentlemen and the lady wanted for interrogation.
“We are relying on the relevant laws of the land and in particular the Terrorism Prevention Act 2011 (as amended) where Nigerians could be punished for failure to disclose information about terrorists or terrorists’ activities.
“This become necessary as a result of their link with the last two videos released by Boko Haram Terrorists and other findings of our preliminary investigations”.
Ahmed Salkida is a journalist and the member of the Boko Haram that spoke in the video said they do not speak with the government except journalists.
Salkida on Twitter claimed that the video was sent to him by the Abubakar Shekau faction of the terrorist group.
