ZENITHBLOG.com recently reported that a public affairs commentator, Charles Ibekwe wrote on the controversy surrounding popular freelance journalist and blogger, Ahmed Salkida, especially as regards his close relationship with the leaders of the dreaded Boko Haram sect.
“The matter is still on the cards. But of the trio, Salkida appears to suspiciously cultivate, nourish and sustain anti-state links with the Boko Haram terrorists in the guise of journalism. About Boko Haram news, trust Salkida.
“He is always the first to break it and first receives it exclusively before any other journalist. Talk of scooping news, the passion of journalists. He must really be a brainy and investigative journalist, if this level of nexus with the deadly terror sect is all about serving the ends of journalism and public interest.
“But it is doubtful and somewhat deceptive whether these are what navigate his outing on terrorism reportage. The Nigerian military devoted its heart and soul to the anti-terrorism campaigns before Boko Haram terrorists were defeated.
“Disseminated information is power. And if propaganda is tilted in favour of enemies of the state, the criminals would be encouraged and energized to execute more evil plots.
“In the scenario of Salkida and BHTs, the best interpretation of the roles he has played over the years seems more of propagating terrorists’ activities, an indication of the extent of his romance with them.
‘Every day, the illumination his actions brandish, suspiciously go beyond professional limits, patriotism to his country, the innocence and neutrality of a journalist as defined by ethical codes,” he said.
