Mailafia set to appear before DSS for accusing gov of sponsoring Boko Haram

Former Deputy Governor, Dr Obadiah Mailafia said that the Department of State Services (DSS) invited him to its Jos office on Tuesday.

Mailafia confirmed the development to The Punch correspondent in Jos.

He said, “Yes, it true. The DSS invited me to appear in their Jos office today (Wednesday).”

Mailafia said his invitation was not unconnected to an interview he granted an Abuja radio station, 95.1FM, on Monday.

In the interview, he said repentant terrorists told him that a serving northern governor was the Boko Haram leader.

Mailafia, who was the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the 2019 election, said the terrorists moved weapons even during the COVID-19 lockdown.
