Mailafia had in an interview with a radio station alleged that a Northern Governor was the commander of the Boko Haram terrorist group.

However, the DSS Public Relations Officer, Dr Peter Afunanya, in a statement on Friday, said Mailafia “apologised profusely” for his comments during questioning.He recalled that the DSS had earlier raised the alarm that some notable personalities were planning to cause a breakdown of law and order. Afunanya said Mailafia, as a former Deputy Governor of the CBN and currently, a Directing Staff at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, has unhindered access to government platforms, noting that he should be conversant with official information management protocols.

“This, he has agreed to be a grievous error on his part. It, however, suggests his mischief and determination to use the fake news he spewed to incite the people under his control,” the spokesman said.
