How Ali Modu Sheriff’s Politics of Fear Gave Rise to Boko Haram

Video Description

Fear ruled Borno’s politics, and Ismail Omipidan was there to see it unfold. In this interview, the investigative journalist and author of Persona Non Grata exposes the reign of Ali Modu Sheriff, whose politics silenced opposition voices and reshaped the state’s political landscape. Omipidan reveals how, with the backing of President Olusegun Obasanjo, Sheriff consolidated power through intimidation and unchecked violence, a combustible mix that, he argues, laid the foundation for the rise of Boko Haram.
