Ahmed Salkida
The man was declared wanted by the
Nigerian Army last month and has been away in the United Arab Emirates.
Salkida who was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International
Airport, Abuja, on Monday afternoon shortly after his flight landed was
one of the three persons (Salkida, Aisha Waliki and Ahmed Bolori)
declared wanted for their alleged link with Boko Haram.
Speaking on how he was arrested, a security agent revealed: “When
we declared him wanted, he said he was willing to return to Nigeria but
only on the condition that we send him a flight ticket.
“His Nigerian passport had expired but the Federal Government
instructed the Nigeria Immigration Service not to issue him a new
passport because he could run away after getting the passport. So, he
was given an Emergency Travel Certificate, which allows the holder to
travel only to his country of citizenship.
“With nowhere to run to, he had no choice but to return. So,
immediately he boarded the plane from Dubai, we started waiting for him
at the airport.”
He has now been taken to the office of the DSS for interrogation. More details of the story will be made available later.
