The previous presidential contestant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the 2019 elections Dr Obadiah Mailafia resigned from the National institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) Kuru, Jos, Plateau State.
Mailafia was a directing staff at the National Policy, which is a think- tank institution. His lawyer Barrister Yakubu Bawa confirmed this to reporters in Jos on Tuesday.
He said the former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) resigned his appointment, affirming NIPSS acknowledged the resignation.
Mailafia’s letter of resignation may not be unconnected with his comments on insecurity and killings in Southern Kaduna during a radio interview.
He had alleged a Northern Governor was Commander of Boko Haram. He was summoned two times by the DSS in Jos for questioning before the police invited him to Abuja.
On Monday, the former CBN Deputy Governor contacted the High Court Plateau for implementation of his rights after refusing the police invitation.
