Former Governor of Borno State and alleged Boko Haram sponsor, Ali Modu Sheriff has issued a reply to Professor Wole Soyinka’s article ‘Wage of Impunity’

Modu Sheriff spoke through the former Commissioner of Information and Home Affairs in Borno (under Sheriff’s administration) Mr. Inuwa Bwala.

Sheriff said, “As the ‘cultist’ we know him (Soyinka) to be, being the founder of a confraternity for which the world is still waiting for answers from him, he is the least morally qualified to speak on the alleged involvement of any Nigerian in whatever crime.

“We challenge him to name this person he says he knows as a sponsor of Boko Haram in the Central Bank, if he is as patriotic as he claims to be. We also challenge him to prove to Nigerians that he is not the cultist we have always known him to be.

“No security agency anywhere or an individual who claims to have investigated this matter independently can dictate to Nigerians or our security personnel what to do about this Boko Haram menace. Therefore, this needless diversion is unwelcome.”
