Following the release of a purported video which appears to show about 50 Chibok girls alive and some allegedly lying dead following a purported airstrike by the Nigerian Army,Ahmad Salkida, the freelance journalist who got access to the exclusive video has been declared wanted. 

 

Salkida is renowned for having access to Boko Haram commanders and exclusive information regarding the group .

Meanwhile in response to the video, the Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, said it was near impossible for the military to have killed innocent people during air strikes..He said

“Currently, we are studying the video clips to verify its authenticity and analysing the comments of the speakers in the video, especially the terrorist member and the girl that spoke in mother tongue.”“It is extremely difficult and rare to hit innocent people during airstrike because the operation is done through precision attack on identified and registered targets and locations.“The Precision Airstrike is very effective at taking out targeted enemies because it is not a random operation.

In the video releases, some 50 girls are shown with a gunman who demands the release of fighters in return for the girls, and says some girls died in air strikes.The masked man, said that some of the girls have been wounded and have life-threatening injuries, and that 40 have been "married".
Speaking in the Hausa language, the gunman says the girls on display will "never" be returned if the government does not release Boko Haram fighters who have been "in detention for ages".
The video concludes with footage of bodies, said to be the victims of air strikes, lying on the ground at another location.
