Australian negotiator Stephen Davis has dared former Borno state governor, Alimodu Sheriff to sue him for saying he's one of the sponsors of Boko Haram. Mr Sheriff had threatened to sue at a press conference on Wednesday.
Speaking with TheCable today, Davis said if Alimodu Sheriff goes to court, evidences to prove he has connections with the sect will be produced.
"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." Continue...
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.” he said
