Nigerian journalist, Ahmad Salkida is demanding an apology from the Federal Government of Nigeria after he was declared wanted in connection with the release of a Boko Haram video.

You declared me wanted, charge me to court, if I am guilty of any crime, don’t apologize to me in private or spare me. Apologize publicly!

How I wish I can explain to my little kids age 2+ to 13, why I can’t go home and why they can’t see as yet. There is simply NO explanation.

The stigma of being associated with terrorism is worse than that of HIV/Aids, it’s even worse when you are unjustly linked with terrorism.
