I Have No Proof To Back My Claim On Northern Governor Being A Boko Haram Commander - Mailafia

 Nigeria (CBN), Obadiah Mailafia who yesterday honored his third invitation by the Department of State Services (DSS), has stated that he has no proof to back his claim of a northern Governor being a Boko Haram commander.

 

Mailafia who spoke after being interrogated by the DSS in Jos, said if he had his way he would have put his words in a better language. He added that his comment on the radio interview was based on hear-say. 

 

The politician said; 

 

“I had a routine appearance with the Department State Security, Plateau state command. I am very pleased that I was treated very professionally. There was no harassment or intimidation. 

“Over a month ago when I gave a radio interview, based on what I heard. If I had my way there are few things I would say differently, but I spoke on the spur of the moments, and I believed that it was a matter of greater urgency to make a wake-up call to what is happening.

“I didn’t really mean to say that the government was part and parcel of the killings, I implied that they could do better because thousands are dying, innocent women and children, elderly and youths.

“But if I have my way I would have put it in better language, and I have no way of corroborating some of these things, I heard it and I could have follow them into their camps to confirm because I might not come back to tell the story, so that is the reality.

“I have indicated that I have reason to believe that my life has been in danger. I have no conclusive proof but I get threat, I get calls. Where I was staying, on Thursday, I saw some strange people at the gate trying to break in. I jumped the fence and escaped because I don’t know who they are.”
