Hundreds of supporters of a former Deputy Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, on Monday stormed the West of
Mines office of the Department of State Services to witness the grilling of the
ex-CBN top official.
The supporters, who chanted solidarity songs were, however,
prevented from gaining entrance into the DSS compound.
Recall that NigerianEye had reported that Mailafia was invited by the DSS
to appear at its office in Jos on Monday.
Monday’s invitation is the third in the last one month that the former CBN Deputy Governor was being asked to appear at the DSS office following an interview he granted to a radio station in which he accused an unnamed Northern governor of being the leader of Boko Haram.
Mailafia arrived at the DSS office around 11 am together
with his wife, Margaret, and his lawyer, Yakubu Bawa, among others including
several clergymen.
He was not released until around 2.55 pm.
Addressing his supporters after his release, Mailafia
condemned his latest invitation by the DSS, saying that such an invitation was
uncalled for.
He insisted that the killings in Southern Kaduna and other
parts of the country must stop.
Mailafia said, “Thank you all for being here. Many have said
the worst things and nobody invited them. I hope this will be the last time I
will be invited to the DSS office. All that I am saying is that the killings
must stop.”
