sponsoring the Boko Haram sect and threatened to sue the Australian
negotiator, Mr Stephen Davis, who was reported to have linked him to
the Boko Haram sect.
Senator Sheriff, at a press conference on Wednesday in Abuja, said
that the fact that one of his commissioners was identified as a Boko
Haram member doesn't make him one.
He went on to say that he had no association with any terrorists
anywhere and denies ever meeting the Boko Haram group.
"I cannot be a sponsor of a group I have not met before. Today, there
are 10,000 members of Boko Haram terrorising our people. All my
actions as governor was to guide my people right.
"I don't have foot soldiers, as they alleged. The allegation that some
foot soldiers who turned against me became Boko Haram is not true. I
am prepared to face any panel in the world to clear my name of Boko
Haram," he said.
He, however, cleared the air about his recent invitation to the office
of the Department of State Security Service and that it has nothing to
do with the Boko Haram sect.
