Former deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN,
Mailafia Obadiah had on August 10 2020, raised the alarm on alleged plans by
the Boko Haram terrorists to begin civil war in 2022.
The former presidential candidate of the African Democratic
Congress, ADC, made the exposure after meeting with some repentant Boko Haram
members who, according to him, revealed the plans of the insurgents.
Mailafia, who spoke in an interview with the Nigerian Info
as tweeted on his official Twitter handle, also alleged that a Northern
governor was the overall Commander of Boko Haram.
According to Obadiah, the Boko Haram insurgents also planned
to invade and kill prominent Nigerians in their homes in urban cities, stating
that the attacks would be carried out in phases.
He said, “Let me make some revelations because some of us
have our internal security networks, we have met with some of the bandits’ high
Commanders who have repented and they told us that one of the Northern
governors is the Commander of Boko Haram in Nigeria.
“Boko Haram and bandits are one and the same, they have a
sophisticated network, during the lockdown, their planes were moving up and
down with ammunition, logistics, money and distributing them in different parts
of the country.
“They are already in the rainforest of the South, they are
everywhere. They told us that when they finish these rural killings, they would
move to phase two.
“In phase two, they will go into the urban cities, moving
from house to house killing prominent people.
“I can tell you this is their game plan and by 2022, they
want to start a civil war in Nigeria.”
