-IG of police, Abubakar declared that Sheriff, Sen Zanna and Sen Ndume are Boko Haram sponsors and Under security watch.
-Cameroon Government Arrested Ali Modu Sheriff on 28th March, 2012 in their country, for what they said his links with Boko Haram.
-Boko Haram commander, Shuaibu Bama was arrested in his Rabi Street House, off Dambuwa Road in October, 2012.
The founders of All Progressives Congress (APC), including Muhammadu Buhari, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Ali Modu Sheriff in a closed-door meeting concluded arrangements to ensure that the chairman of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and former governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff emerges chairman of the BOT of the APC.
The Yet-to-be registered APC members met for two days last week for a ‘special national caucus’ at the Transcorp Hotel, Abuja to fine tune details of the merger which they hope to submit to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) soon.
In october, 2012, a commander of Boko haram, Shuaibu Bama declared wanted by JTF was arrested in the Maiduguri home of Sen Sheriff, located at Rabi Street, off Dambuwa Road of the former Senator and Governors of Borno state.
General J Useni alerted the Nigerian intelligence early last year that they should arrest Ali Modu Sheriff if they want to end Boko Haram insurgency.
In late October, 2012, the Inspector General of Police, Mr Abubakar Mohammed, said in Abuja that the three people alleged to be sponsoring Boko Haram were under watch and investigation.
IG Abubakar Mohammed named them as former Gov. Ali Modu Sheriff of Borno, Sen. Ahmed Zanna, and Sen. Ali Ndume.
On the 28th March, 2012 Sen Ali Modu Sheriff was arrested by neighbouring Cameroon’s security forces, for what Cameroon Government described as his link with the terror group, Boko Haram.
According to the Cameroon daily, L’Oriel du Sahel of April 2, 2012, "Modu Sheriff, also a former senator, was arrested upon entering Cameroon from Chad on his way to visit the governor of that country’s Far North Region".
It is a big shock that All progressive Congress (APC) will choose this dangerous route of naming an alleged Boko haram sponsor and friend their party chairman.
Regrettably, this gives credence to the allegation that APC and their leaders may have link with the Blood thirsty Islamic terror Group, Boko haram.
