The Campaign Director, Ali Modu Sheriff Campaign Organisation, Senator Victor Lar, has reacted to claims that the former Borno Governor is a major sponsor of terrorist sect, Boko Haram.
Reports had emerged claiming the former governor’s name was on a list of Boko Haram sponsors recently released by the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Speaking on Sunday, Senator Lar challenged anyone with evidence that Ali Modu Sheriff is a terrorist sponsor to tender it publicly.
According to the former lawmaker, Sheriff, a two-term former governor of Borno State, had no links with Boko Haram. 
He said: “Sheriff’s name is not on the list of sponsors of Boko Haram released by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), security agencies have been investigating him since he left office in 2011 and had not found him guilty of the allegations
“If he was involved, he would have been arrested, or his involvement made public. In any case, I challenge anyone with information proving his involvement to come forth with such.”
He added, “Having a case with the EFCC means standing trial or being prosecuted. Sheriff isn’t standing trial. In any case, those alleging should go to EFCC.”
