Dr. Mailafia begs Christians to stand in solidarity as he makes third appearance at DSS
The embattled former CBN deputy, Dr. Mailafia Obadiah has pleaded with Christians resident in Plateau State to mobilize and stand in solidarity with him as he sets to appear before the Department of State Security, DSS, on Monday.
This is in line with his claims on a Lagos radio Station that a serving Northern governor is behind the dreaded Boko Haram and their terrorist activities.
The statement which was later tagged hate speech by the Nigeria Minister for Information Lai Muhammed has since become the subject of controversies between Dr. Mailafia and the DSS.
Taking to his social media page, Mailafia said, “I have reasons to believe that my life is in danger and that some powerful political forces want to silence me forever. For speaking the truth. For speaking on behalf of the holy martyrs- of thousands of innocent children, women, elderly and youths that have been killed in our beloved country.
“Dear Comrades, Beloved Brethren, I have once again (for the 3rd time) been ordered to appear before the DSS at their Jos HQ this coming Monday 14th September, at 11.00 am.
“This is in addition to our battle in court, as my lawyer appears before a Jos High Court today Friday the 11th, seeking a restraining order against the DIG Criminal Investigations Department (CID) who are also pursuing me.
“I spent over 20 years of my working life abroad as a university teacher, banker and international civil servant with an unblemished record. I have no criminal record, not even a parking ticket.
“Sadly, it is in my own fatherland that I’m being subjected to criminal investigation and such extreme political persecution. Please, pray for me.
“It is only in our benighted country that a man who speaks from his conscience can be hounded like a common criminal. Please, those of you in the Jos area or who can easily travel to Jos, please kindly mobilize and be there en masse to support me on Monday at 11.00 am as I go once again into the Lions’ Den.
“I’m a believer in nonviolence. Please, no-one should throw even a little stone on my behalf. Let us become candles of light and peace in this Age of Darkness. Thank you so immensely and may God bless you all.”
