BEVERLY HILLS, April 18, (THEWILL) – Ahmad Salkida, a journalist reportedly having access to the leadership of the Boko Haram sect, has updated his information on the number of Chibok schoolgirls still alive.

THEWILL recalls that Salkida, in a series of tweets on Saturday, revealed that only 15 of the girls are alive.

“Many of the girls have died as a result of crossfire and bombardments of the security forces that no doubt were intent on rescuing them,” he tweeted.

“I regret to state here that only 15 out of the 113 #Chibokgirls are alive today, based on my investigations in the last three months.”

However, the Federal Government dismissed Salkida’s claim, saying the facts available to the government indicated that all the remaining girls in Boko Haram captivity were alive.

The defence headquarters, in a similar manner, had also questioned Salkida’s claim it said was to discourage the government.

But Salkida challenged the government to release a proof of live video, insisting that only 15 alive.

But in new tweets on Tuesday, Salkida said two other cells within the sect brought information to him that, apart from the 15 he had mentioned, there were other girls being held.

“A leading member of the Jama’atu Ahlis-Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad or BH has now clarified the earlier information about 15 girls,” Salkida tweeted.

“Indeed, the 15 #Chibokgirls are available, but known to a particular cell that spoke to me emphatically days leading to the 4th anniversary.

“However, two other cells within the larger group has brought additional information, clarifying the earlier information, that there are another 10 girls available to another cell.

“Outside of the 15 and 10, another 5 amongst the girls are also alive as at early hours of today.

“But the set of 5, according to the group today, have apparently become permanently embedded in the doctrines and teaching programs of the Sect and have asked not to be considered amongst those likely be included in any release in the future, if there would be any.

“Back to the response of the presidency, it is most disappointing that the government in its might and given the machinery available to it, peremptorily declared to the public that it lacks institutional memory regarding the processes of the #Chibokgirls.”
