Aisha Wakil, a Nigerian lawyer and negotiator for the Boko Haram
group, who turned herself in after being declared wanted, is doing well
in the hands of Nigerian military officials, defence sources said
Tuesday.
But Mrs. Wakil has not yet been quizzed, sources said.
Mrs. Wakil arrived the Nigerian Defence Headquarters on Monday
afternoon, less than 24 hours after she was declared wanted by the Army.
Mrs. Wakil expressed surprise at being declared wanted, saying she
was a well-known figure amongst the military hierarchy for years.
Army Spokesman, Sani Usman, confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES on Monday that
Ms. Wakil was promptly ushered into the office of Director of Military
Intelligence.
Defence Headquarters sources told PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday afternoon
that Ms. Wakil was doing well, but still awaiting interrogation.
The Army declared Ms. Wakil, Ahmed Bolori and Ahmad Salkida wanted on Sunday on the grounds that they have ties to Boko Haram.
The announcement was part of the Army’s response to a video released
by Boko Haram which showed some of the abducted Chibok girls.
The Army said the three individuals had committed offences that
contravened the Terrorism (Prevention) Act of 2011, adding that they
allegedly helped distribute Boko Haram propaganda materials.Mr. Bolori has also not been seen in public since he reported at the Nigerian Army premises in Borno State on Monday morning.
