EFCC Quizzes Sheriff In Maiduguri Over PDP Campaign Funds

These are not the best of times for the factional chairman of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, who was a guest of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), yesterday in Maiduguri, Borno state.
Sheriff was reportedly invited by the anti-graft body in connection with investigations into PDP 2015 campaign funds for which several party chieftains are already in commission’s net.

The embattled party chairman arrived the commission’s office located behind the Directorate of State Security (DSS) office along the Maiduguri/Damaturu highway, at about 10:15am in a tinted glass bulletproof jeep and was escorted by a small detachment of mobile policemen.

His invitation and quizzing was confirmed by an official of the EFCC, noting that he was invited to answer questions concerning money distributed to PDP stalwarts in the state during the 2015 general elections.
It would be recalled that Sheriff’s supporters yesterday laid siege on the national secretariat of the party after he forcibly gained entry into the secretariat located in Wadata Plaza on Monday.
