FORMER Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, yesterday, scolded the All Progressives Congress and the Australian negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davies for linking him with the sponsorship of Boko Haram activities in Nigeria.
Addressing a world press conference in Abuja, Sherriff lamented that he was wrongly linked with the violent group, as he had no relationship whatsoever with the sect.
The former governor lamented that he was rather a victim of the sect, which did not only kill his brother, Alhaji Goni Mustapha Sheriff, but also took the lives of his brother-in- law, Alhaji Awana Ngala; the 2011 gubernatorial candidate, Engr. Modu Gubioa and his bosom friends, Alhaji Mustapha Fulawama and Bukar Goni Kolo, among others.

Sherriff, who distanced himself from the activities of Boko Haram, pointed out that he never met the late leader and founder of the group before he was arrested and killed in circumstances that were being investigated by security agencies.
He said: “It may interest you to know that it was the government of my predecessor in office, the late Alhaji Mala Kachallah that introduced Sharia Law in the state in the year 2000.
