Questions Ali Modu Sheriff Must Answer About Boko Haram - Fani Kayode

Fani’s words “If Ali Modu Sheriff says he has nothing to do with Boko Haram, then let him explain himself on his relationship with Mohammed Yusuf, the man who started Boko Haram, who was murdered in mysterious circumstance by the

police.

Let him tell us who he was when he was using these local sons as his personal thugs and let him tell us if it was not Mohammed Yusuf who was leading and organising them.

Let him tell us who asked Former President Umaru Yar’Adua to send in soldiers and kill as many people as possible that belonged to Boko Haram groups simply because he was tired of them, he was fed up of giving them money.

Let him tell us why he appointed one Buju Foi as the Commissioner for Religious Affairs and this man was giving money to these boys and making them happy. Let him tell us, under what circumstances was Buju Foi was killed?

After the investigation began, the likelihood was that Buju Foi would have given evidence to the fact that he had been used to fund and support these boys while they were operating at local level.
What happened was that there was a big fallout as it has always been among gangsters.

The way Boko Haram started, he founded them at the local level, he was using them as his personal thugs until the time Mohammed Yusuf was arrested and was being interrogated, somebody killed him and it was somebody who gave that order.

Years later, his own commissioner who had been funding these boys was arrested and interrogated. He too was killed under mysterious circumstances and so what happened, they held him responsible for the death of their leader and the death of the commissioner.

I have a good friend who is now a governor of Kaduna State, he told me something sometimes ago that if we want to solve the problem of Boko Haram, all we needed to do was to ensure that justice is done and the antecedents of those that ordered the killing of Mohammed Yusuf should be brought to book, arrested, prosecuted and jailed, we didn’t do that and those boys went to the street and started killing and it has taken an international dimension, it has been hijacked by al-Qaida, ISO and some local politicians in Nigeria until we now have the monster that we have now.

To divorce Ali Modu Sheriff from Boko Haram is absolute rubbish.
