The Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress and a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr Obadiah Mailafiya, on Monday, again honoured the invitation by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Mailafiya said if because he spoke about the plight of innocent citizens, he will perish, so be it.
He said “I’m the voice of the holy martyrs, and if I perish, I perish”.
This is the third time that the DSS is inviting Mr. Mailafiya over comments he made on radio, that a Northern Governor is a Boko Haram Commander.
Speaking to journalists before he entered the DSS headquarters in Jos, Mailafiya who arrived at 11:09 hours, said, “I’m the voice of millions of voiceless people.
Both Muslim and Christian youths have taken me as their voice.”
“Thousands of people have been killed in this country; in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Katsina, Zamfara, Niger, Birnin Gwari, Southern Kaduna, Benue, Plateau and other parts of the country”, he decried.

Mailafiya maintained that, “I’m the voice of the holy martyrs and if I perish, I perish”.
Recall that the State High Court sitting in Jos, had last Friday fixed the September 29, for ruling on the application filed by Mailafiya challenging an invitation served on him by the office of the DIG Force Criminal Investigation Department, Abuja.
Mailafiya is asking the Court to declare that the Department of State Security Services (DSS) is the only statutory body empowered by law to deal with crime against Internal Security of Nigeria.
