Ahmad Salkida, a journalist with access to some top leaders of Boko Haram, has alleged that a man named Danladi Ahmadu, who reportedly represented the Islamist group in ceasefire negotiations with the Nigerian government, is bogus and an impostor.
Mr. Salkida made these assertions in a series of tweets in his twitter handle
It also appears that govt is more interested in shadows and bubbles, than in substance and clear headed engagement wt d #BH ideology 6/6
— Ahmad Salkida (@ContactSalkida) October 17, 2014 Mr. Salkida continued: “I challenge Danladi Ahmadu to an open debate if he has d interest of Nigeria at heart. Who is he? Where was he pre-2009? Why is he leading this? The name Danladi, based on ‘Boko Haram’ ideology, is ‘filthy.’ It refers to ‘someone born on Sunday,’ unlike the norm of picking strictly Muslim names. Sadly, no town taken by BH has been reclaimed [by Nigerian troops] beyond media-derived hype. Show us the video or pictures. Take reporters there. Simple.
“I don't care if it is Idriss Deby or whoever; Danladi Ahmadu is NOT part of ‘Boko Haram’ Shura [governing council] [nor] speaks for them as far as I know. It also appears that govt is more interested in shadows and bubbles, than in substance and clearheaded engagement with the ‘Boko Haram’ ideology.”
Mr. Salkida explained that his parents were displaced because of the insurgency, adding that he was speaking based on facts. He advised the government to desist from tagging Nigerians ‘APC’ members for daring to state the facts.
