He was born in a rich family in Ngala Town, Ngala
Local Government Area, Borno State in 1956. His
father was a successful businessman Galadima
Modu Sheriff.

London, where his main subjects were Insurance,
Banking and Finance.
2. Start of political career
He became a member of a Social Democratic Party
in 1990. In 1997 he joined National Republican
Convention. He became a senator representing
Borno Central on the platform of the United Nigeria
Congress Party. It happened during General Sani

Senator, Borno Central, on the platform of the All
Nigeria Peoples Party.
Ali Modu Sheriff was elected governor of Borno State
in Nigeria in April 2003. He was the first governor in
Borno state to win the seat for two consecutive
times.
3. Arrest
In 2012 Modu Sheriff, a former senator, was arrested
upon entering Cameroon from Chad. He was
arrested by neighbouring Cameroon’s security
forces, allegedly for his link with Boko Haram. But
after some time he was just escorted back to the
n=border of the country. His connection with Boko
Haram was not proved.
4. Younger brother
Alhaji Goni Mustapha Sheriff, a younger brother of
the former politician, also had a political career. But
in 2011 he was killed. Rumors said that the ones
who are responsible for it are the Boko Haram. So Ali
Modu Sheriff often uses this fact to prove that he
has nothing in common with this group.
5. Wedding of his elder daughter
His eldest daughter was married to Alhaji Babagana
Muhammed Sherriff in 2011. One strange moment
of the wedding was that it was closed and only men
were allowed to attend it. The wedding fatiha was
conducted by the Chief Imam of the Yahaya Road
Jumat Mosque.
6. Owner of an Airline
He is a third ex-governor of Nigeria who owns his
own airline. So he became a stakeholder in the
Nigeria`s sphere of aviation. He is also an owner of
the most expensive private jet in Nigeria, which is
worth N11.5 billion.
7. Is he really a sponsor of Boko Haram?
This fact can`t be proved or rejected now. Usually he
easily denies all allegations against him. When
Australian negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davis, accused
him of being one of the sponsors of Boko Haram,
he insisted that he had never met any leaders of
this sect. And that he will sue the Australian
negotiator.
