CNN Announces Ali Modu Sheriff as the Founder of Boko Haram (See TV Screenshot)

 

CNN reported the appointment of former Borno state governor, Ali Modu Sheriff as Acting Chairman of the People's Democratic Party, PDP in a rather awkward manner describing him as the founder of Boko Haram which the politician has denied severally.



Sheriff has been widely accused of having a close relationship with the late leader of Boko Haram, Mohammed Yusuf during his 8-year tenure as the governor of the war-torn Borno state.

This revelation by CNN may confirm recent claims by Femi Fani Kayode that Sheriff has strong ties to the terrorist group that has killed over 20,000 Nigerians since 2009.
