Steven Davis appears to not be taking any prisoners and has challenged the ex-Borno governor Ali Modu Sheriff to come forward and sue him for libel if he really believed the accusations of him sponsoring Boko Haram were false.

Davis has promised to furnish a court case with enough evidence to bury Ali Modu Sheriff.

He reiterated that he is certain of his facts, 'very sure,' he said and that his dialogue with Boko Haram commanders over time has furnished him with substantial evidence.

He also laughed at Ali Modu's public denial of involvement, saying it read like a fictional novel, 'unconvincing fiction.'

As TheCable reports his statement:

"He is worried, is he? He knows that if he goes to court, the evidence will be produced and he cannot escape justice. Let him go to court if that is what he wishes. It is his right to do so. He will not be able to avoid close examination and then the facts will be known. Good luck to him if he decides to sue me in Australia. He can’t buy the judges here. Truth is not for sale. Australia has zero toleration for those who might sponsor terrorism." Continue...

No one should be above the law whether in Australia or Nigeria. Justice must be served for every Nigerian killed, every girl and boy kidnapped, every girl raped, every person who has lost their home in the course of this violence. It seems to me the extent of involvement of every person named by Boko Haram as a sponsor should be closely and thoroughly examined by the correct authorities. I read his defence on the media this week. Rather than come out as a statement of facts, it read like a novel of unconvincing fiction. In the last 48 hours, I have been in touch with some commanders of the group and they maintain their stand on Sheriff’s involvement. Sheriff’s ploy of casting himself as a victim is a poor attempt at disguising his sponsorship as alleged by the Boko Haram commanders.” he said
