Ex-Central Bank Deputy Governor, Mailafia Was Hounded By Buhari’s Tyrannical Regime Till He Died—Activist, Sowore Mourns

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has mourned a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Obadiah Mailafia.

The 64-year-old development economist died at the National Hospital Abuja on Sunday morning.

Luka Binniyat, spokesman for the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU) had said Mailafia, who took refuge in Makurdi, Benue state, following alleged persistent harassment by the Department of State Services (DSS), fell sick on Saturday and was rushed to an Abuja hospital where he was pronounced dead on Sunday morning.

The former deputy governor, who was the Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2019 election, was a known government critic and had advocated for public sector and exchange rate reforms.

Mailafia was born on December 24, 1956, in the Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

He later graduated top of his class at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in 1978 with BSc.

Mailafia was appointed deputy governor of the CBN in 2005 from the African Development Bank (AfDB) where he served as the chief economist responsible for Strategic Planning and Corporate Reporting.

Reacting on Sunday in a Facebook post and on Twitter, Sowore described the deceased as a powerful voice for social justice.

“Dr. Malafia Obadiah is Dead. He was a powerful voice for social justice, although he was said to have died after a 'protracted illness', it is however on record that he was hounded till the very end by the lawless DSS agents of the unconscionable and tyrannical regime of Muhammadu Buhari. Rest In Power, Doc! #RevolutionNow #BuhariMustGo,” the activist wrote

The people who took him to public hospital have questions to answer

Of all the good Private Health facilities in ABUJA na Fulani run National Hospital dem carry am go!!

Una no try at all

The man was killed for simply speaking up. It's common knowledge that Truth stings the bodies of these quota system people like acid.

First it was Gana, then they went for Sowore's brother, now it's Malaifia. Who's next? ex-Commodore Kunle?

Swore has started again. Smh

Like DSS cares or someone is going to bring them to books.

Sowore should better save his head to tell the stories

I pity Sowore.

So sad

Anybody that died in national hospital has definitely died a national death.


Rest in peace Rich man

His death is so painful. I still don't understand why he had to remain in this useless country where those in control want him dead and can go to any length to achieve it.

He could have relocated to Ghana or even seek asylum in the West for protection. The family or associates should go for autopsy.
