Again, we expose yet another slander
intended claim of President Buhari’s
daughter being married to former governor
of Borno Ali Modu Sheriff’s son which is
being spread and recirculated on the www.
This is another absolute falsehood. None of
President Buhari’s daughters is married to a
son or brother of the controversial former
Borno governor.
The malicious misinformation is again being
aggressively pushed in articles addressing
the interrogation of the former governor for
the coveting much of 300 billion naira during
his tenure.
Former governor Modu Sheriff is currently
being quizzed on massive corruption charges
and accused of being a Boko Haram
sponsor.
A video of the wedding of Buhari’s fifth
daughter, Halima with a certain Alhaji
Babagana Sheriff has been branded “the
wedding of Buhari’s daugher with Modu
Sheriff’s son” and is being spread by several
Nigerian sites, some unknowingly and some
being paid by the PDP in attempt to malign
the character of Nigeria’s president. Popular
internet sites including Naij.com have been
caught spreading this falsehood.
While there is no offense in any tainted or
starkly corrupt person’s children marrying or
being married by who they wish (or wearing
what accessories, e.g. wristwatches or
shoes they wish), as the elected politicians
are distinct individuals from their their
children and/or spouses who are not voted
into office; the truth simply is that Modu
Sheriff has no son as old as that. The man
involved, Alhaji Babagana Sheriff who
attended University of Maiduguri according
to his friends who we interviewed, is not the
former governor’s son or brother as many
sites have falsely claimed. The man is at
best distantly related to the former
governor.
The wedding which took place in December
of 2012 had the Emir of Borno, Alhaji Haliru
Dantoro stand as the groom’s father, while
because Senator Modu Sheriff participated in
receiving the bride, the video became ripe
for slander by Nigeria’s malicious
professionals.

Babagana Sheriff
At the time of the wedding it hit headlines
because people were amazed the former
General gave his daughter in marriage for a
paltry gold coin sum of only N200,000
(About $700). Headlines at the time were:
“ Awesome! General Buhari Gives Out His
Daughter For Marriage For Just ₦200K. ”
Over the years we have cleaned up several
slanderous lies against Nigeria’s president
Muhammadu Buhari as well as other
prominent people who have been targets of
demonic libel.
President Buhari was particularly targeted in
a billion-dollar slander campaign organized
by the expelled PDP government of
Goodluck Jonathan. In the past we cleaned
up false claims that the former General said
he will make Nigeria ungovernable, providing
it was only a PDP founder, Lawal Kaita that
had said such . We also exposed how at a
time the Jonathan government had had to
apologize and plead to the current president
for libelous publications by the then
presidency and Guardian newspaper, they
were forced to retract after a court decision.
