According to a report by TheCable Stephen
Davis, a popular Australian negotiator has challenged the former governor of
Brono state to sue him for saying he is one of the sponsors of Boko Haram. It would
be recalled that the former Governor in a press conference on Wednesday
threatened to sue the man.
Davis disclosed to TheCable today, Friday 5th September, that if
Alimodu Sheriff goes to court, evidences to prove he has connections with the
sect will be produced.
In his words: Continue....
In his words: Continue....
"He is worried, is he? He knows that if he
goes to court, the evidence will be produced and he cannot escape justice. Let
him go to court if that is what he wishes. It is his right to do so. He will
not be able to avoid close examination and then the facts will be known. Good
luck to him if he decides to sue me in Australia. He can’t buy the judges here.
Truth is not for sale. Australia has zero toleration for those who might
sponsor terrorism.
No one
should be above the law whether in Australia or Nigeria. Justice must be served
for every Nigerian killed, every girl and boy kidnapped, every girl raped,
every person who has lost their home in the course of this violence. It seems
to me the extent of involvement of every person named by Boko Haram as a
sponsor should be closely and thoroughly examined by the correct authorities. I
read his defence on the media this week. Rather than come out as a statement of
facts, it read like a novel of unconvincing fiction. In the last 48 hours, I
have been in touch with some commanders of the group and they maintain their
stand on Sheriff’s involvement. Sheriff’s ploy of casting himself as a victim
is a poor attempt at disguising his sponsorship as alleged by the Boko Haram
commanders.”
