The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says the new Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ali Modu Sheriff, is still under investigation for alleged corruption.

Sheriff was arrested by the commission in June last year for alleged embezzlement of public funds during his eight years as governor of Borno State but was granted bail.

His government was said to have received over N300bn from the Federation Account between 2003 and 2011, an amount alleged to have been mismanaged by Sheriff.

The ex-governor of Borno State was subsequently detained from June 3 to June 4, 2015 and released on administrative bail without being charged to court.

The EFCC spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, had said at the time, “We can ask him to come back anytime we need him.”

Speaking with our correspondent on Monday during a telephone interview, Uwujaren said, “Sheriff is still under investigation.”

When asked to explain how far the commission had gone in the probe, Uwujaren said, “I cannot disclose the details of the investigations for now but the matter is already in the public domain.”

A reliable source within the anti-graft agency told one of our correspondents that Sheriff’s probe was not a witch-hunt but a normal criminal investigation.

He said, “Criminal matters do not have statutes of limitation. If a crime took place 30 years ago, we can re-open it at any point in time and that is what is happening.”

Corruption is not a party thing in Nigeria, but a class thing, most of our political class are crooks.

I still dey sleep when i wake up, i go comment. bt meanwhile we know the guy had 'CRIME' written all over him. thanks to FFK

It is well. The selection process of PDP in the status quo lacked due diligence.

I may not buy the propaganda of APC, but picking somebody of questionable character to be in such a sensitive position is what I frankly frown upon.

Yes, Sheriff may be presumed innocent until proven guilty, but this gaffe should not have come when the party is on the verge of redeeming her lost image in the eyes of Nigerians.

I just hope what happened to Bamanga Tukur will not happen to Sheriff.

Hahahahahaha

Ghenghen! Wailers frustration has increased exponentially! You know they love thieves and looters....wow, what will they do now

.

The hitherto inconclusive probe has suddenly been brought out from under the carpet.
They tried to fly the BH linked kite but it didn't sell. Now it's the corruption ship that had sailed a long time ago. Bring all the thieves to book but why wait for inopportuned moments like this when you feel threatened?

Hahahahahaha

Yet Amaechi and co have no case to answer.
If any man be in APC, he is indeed a new creature.Make Amaechi do mistake leave APC tomorrow, drama go full ground.

EFCC is clamping down on a thiefs. Be pdp chirman or pdp wailer or a nigerian thief. Al ds same.

I wasn't supporting the guy emergency but I think they are afraid he can pull NE region.

Still wondering whats really going on
Ali Modu Sheriff was governor before I got admission, I have served and are working now. The EFCC is still probing him for 300bn naira. Distraction everywhere.

This is one of the reasons why naija does not work. How can a state be getting its revenue from the fed govt? In other countries, the states (and even the local govt) raise their own revenue themselves and set their economic agenda.
It would be unthinkable for the city I live in (or the state) to start asking for 'allocation' from the fed. govt.

The moment I saw Magu at the rally of #IstandwithBuhari. I lost hope in the Man, Buhari corruption mantra and in Nigeria. This is why d corruption fight is a sham! Going against only perceived enemies.

Anybody that quotes me to tell me about corruption fight again.

The thunder that will fire you. Is on its 1000th press-up, warming up for u and ur household.

Quote me at ur own peril.

Not so. Take a moment to think!

Who is really behinde clamouring against SAS This has nothing to do with apc. It is SAS enemies within PDP that went to dig this up.
Infact, apc will prefer SAS as chairman cos it will give then smoking gun in 2019

APC and EFCC are like groundnut and garri.
once you are not in their party , you re a thief and under probe.
may GOD heip us in this country.
