Buhari critic, Obadiah Mailafia is dead.
Newsone understands that a Nigerian economist who served as deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Obadiah Mailafia is dead.
A report monitored on Peoples Gazette by Newsone Nigeria, quoted family sources to have said that Obadiah Mailafia on Sunday morning, September 19, at the National Hospital in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The report added that the 64-year-old Obadiah Mailafia was certified dead by a medical doctor at the nation’s foremost public health facility.
Newsone reports that the late Mailafia hailed from Randa, in the Christian-dominated Southern Kaduna, and taught economics at different institutions.
The former CBN Deputy Governor spent the latter part of his years advocating for a solution to the protracted killings in Southern Kaduna, which had been linked to armed herdsmen of Fulani origin.
Newsone reports that the late Obadiah Mailafia became a frontline critic of President Muhammadu Buhari and security agencies as part of his advocacy and was recently invited by the State Security Service to explain some of his on-air comments about deliberate violence across the country.
