The Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, on Monday, honoured the invitation by the Department of State Services (DSS) for the third time.
Mailafia according to report, disclosed that if because he spoke about the plight of innocent citizens, he will perish, so be it.
His statement read “I’m the voice of the holy martyrs, and if I perish, I perish”.
CSONews24 revealed that Mr. Mailafia was invited by DSS over comments he made on radio, concerning Boko Haram.
Mailafia had alleged that a repentant bandit told him that a serving northern governor was a commander of the terrorist group.
Speaking to journalists before he entered the DSS headquarters in Jos, Mailafia who arrived at 11:09 hours, said, “I’m the voice of millions of voiceless people.
“Both Muslim and Christian youths have taken me as their voice.”
“Thousands of people have been killed in this country; in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Katsina, Zamfara, Niger, Birnin Gwari, Southern Kaduna, Benue, Plateau and other parts of the country”, he decried.
He maintained that, “I’m the voice of the holy martyrs and if I perish, I perish”.
Reports has it that the State High Court sitting in Jos, had last Friday fixed the 29th of September, 2020, for ruling on the application filed by Mailafia.
The former CBN Deputy Governor is challenging an invitation served on him by the office of the DIG Force Criminal Investigation Department, Abuja.
Mailafia is asking the Court to declare that the Department of State Security Services (DSS) is the only statutory body empowered by law to deal with crime against Internal Security of Nigeria.
