Following a petition submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) demanding a thorough investigation of former Borno State governor Ali Modu Sheriff and retired Nigerian Army Chief of Staff Lt. General Azubuike Ihejirika, the ICC has confirmed they will review the petition and other supporting documents, which claim the pair were affiliated with the terrorist sect Boko Haram.

In August, Sheriff and Ihejirika were accused of sponsoring Boko Haram by an Australian hostage negotiator, Stephen Davis, who claimed to have been working with the Nigerian federal government to negotiate a release of the kidnapped Chibok girls.
In September, the Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA), a non-governmental organization whose mandate is to promote and protect human rights, petitioned the ICC to act on Davis' revelations, asserting that the Nigerian government lacked the "political will" to intervene against high-profile suspects like Sheriff and Ihejirika.
