Hundreds of supporters of a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, on Monday stormed the West of Mines office of the Department of State Services in Jos, Plateau State, to witness the grilling of the politician.
DSS operatives, however, prevented Mailafia’s supporters, who chanted solidarity songs, from gaining entrance into the security outfit’s premises.
Mailafia was last week invited by the DSS to appear at its office in Jos on Monday.
Monday’s invitation is the third summon in the last one month to the former CBN deputy governor to appear at the DSS office following his accusation, during a radio interview, of an unnamed Northern governor of being the leader of Boko Haram.
Mailafia arrived at the DSS office around 11 am in company with his wife, Margaret, and his lawyer, Yakubu Bawa, among others, including several clergymen.
The DSS did not release him until around 2.55 pm.
Mailafia, whlie addressing his supporters after his release, condemned his latest invitation by the DSS, describing it as uncalled for.
He, however, insisted that the killings in Southern Kaduna and other parts of the country must stop immediately.
“Thank you all for being here. Many have said the worst things and nobody invited them. I hope this will be the last time I will be invited to the DSS office. All that I am saying is that the killings must stop,” Mailafia said.
