Allegation
The EFCC alleged that parts of the roughly ₦300 billion Borno State received from the Federation Account between 2003 and 2011 were not judiciously spent, and moved to question Sheriff over the diversion of state funds.
Outcome / Status
Sheriff voluntarily surrendered himself to the EFCC for questioning in June 2015; a further, separate probe followed in 2016 concerning alleged PDP campaign funds. No conviction had resulted from either probe as of the most recent reporting.
Administration's response
Sheriff did not concede the allegation and voluntarily submitted to questioning rather than resisting the EFCC's process.
