Fleeing members of Boko Haram, yesterday challenged some top aides of the state Governor, Ali Sheriff, to swear publicly that they have no link with them.The fundamentalists also said they are ready to come out with the true picture of everything, insisting that the movement is still very much around and that the deaths of some of their leaders and members cannot stop them.An anonymous text message written in Hausa, sent to our correspondent, read : “Al Gaskiya zata tabbata ko bayan mutuwar malan da sahabansa. Ina sohuwar minister takasar middle belt? Ina senata mai cit a sakiyar ta jihar ku? Ina sohar kwamashona ayanzu chiama a kudancin jihar ku? Ina yankasuwa magoyin bayan harancecen gwannan? Meya raba su da ustaz Buji fai? Ai dukkansu sunayin taimako. Sufito fili su rantse idan basu da hannu. Munnnan daku. Idan ana nemar gaskiya zamuzo meduguri mufadeta koda mu ba yankasan ba.”This literally means, "The truth shall prevail after the death of Mallam and his followers. What is the fate of the former minister from the middle belt? What is the fate of the current senator from your state (Borno), where are the former commissioners now? Let them come out and swear that they don’t have a hand. We are still together. If people are seeking the truth, we shall come to Maiduguri to tell them, even if we are not indigenes of Borno State."Meanwhile, Sheriff has told leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria that it was unfair to associate him with the sectarian crisis in the state, adding, “I will not condone the killings of people. The electorate voted me to lead them.”At a meeting with CAN, he said, “I do not associate based on religion. As a governor, you will not join hands with such a sect. No responsible leader or man would ignite any religious crisis; some of the pastors are my friends.”He sympathised with CAN on the burning of 20 churches and killing of three pastors, noting that since 2003, his administration had been battling with Boko Haram, which had been in Maiduguri for 14 years.
