LEADERSHIP reports that Alkali, a former cameraman with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), was abducted by the ISWAP faction of the Boko Haram when the outlawed group attacked Monguno on March 10, 2022.

While in captivity his employers, the IRC, the Nigeria Union of Journalists ( NUJ) and numerous humanitarian organisations tirelessly fought for his release through negotiations with the Boko Haram sect.

There was palpable excitement and expression of joy among his family members, co-workers and members of the Borno NUJ as the Maiduguri Press Centre was agog with celebrations.

“After spending 174 days in captivity, the Senior Area Manager with IRC has finally regained his freedom,” an excited family member who spoke on condition of anonymity said.
