The Speaker of the House of Representative, Aminu Tambuwal has asked the President to negotiate with terror group, Boko Haram if that could secure the safe return of the kidnapped Chibok girls.  The speaker said this today July 15th while receiving the leadership of the #BringBackOurGirls campaigner in his office at the House of Assembly.

"If negotiations is what would bring back for example Chibok girls, for Goodness sake, lets negotiate and save the children. Negotiation is not submitting......you are not just submitting, you are not. It is a strategy. So let's get these girls out and then if you want to confront them you go ahead and confront them and take them head on but whatever we need to do, we must do as a government to bring back these girls safely & alive" he said.

He urged the campaigners to continue with their demands for accountability.

 Nigerian journalist, Ahmad Salkida, who previously worked for Daily Trust and Premium Times and reported extensively on Boko Haram, fled Nigeria to Dubai 2 years ago after being accused to be a Boko Haram sympathizer. He explained he fled after'his life and that of his family became endangered'after security agencies started to mistake his in-depth reporting on the terrorist group as proof of his closeness to them. He went underground for many weeks before finally fleeing Nigeria. Salkida was perhaps the only Nigerian journalist/civilian to have access to Boko Haram, and he explained during the time that he'd rejected Boko Haram's many requests for him to publish exclusive interviews and materials for them.

Anyway according to new reports, the Nigerian government flew him home 2-3 weeks ago to negotiate with Boko Haram on their behalf, since he's the only real civilian who has allegedly seen Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and emerge alive. He reportedly came home after the Nigerian government assured him that he will not be arrested. (See his tweets).  After the break.
