The Department of State Services has accused a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, of attempting to cause a breach of the peace in the country.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. “Dr Obadiah Mailafia’s recent outburst aimed at playing to the gallery and creating unnecessary tension is a confirmation of his group’s desperation to breach the peace.”
“It is disappointing that he never took advantage of these to reach any of the security or related agencies to share the so-called information at his disposal. The secret police said it would not allow “disgruntled and aggrieved elements to take laws into their hands and cause mayhem in the polity”.
