The State Security Services (SSS) has invited Obadiah Mailafa, a former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), for questioning again.
Mailafa’s lawyer, Yakubu Bawa, confirmed this to newsmen on Monday in Jos.
According to him, Mr Mailafa is expected to be at the Jos office of the SSS on Monday by 12 noon.
Mr Bawa said the invitation was in connection with Mr Mailafa’s encounter with the SSS last week.
“I believe it wouldn’t be anything different from the last encounter with DSS, which was purely interactive,” he said.
Mr Mailafa was, last Wednesday, invited by the security agency following an interview he granted an Abuja based Radio FM.
During the interview, he alleged that among other things that a current northern governor was backing the Boko Haram insurgents.
Mr Mailafa was at the SSS office for six hours but later released unconditionally.
Similarly, the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), fined the radio station, Nigeria Info, that conducted the said interview N5 million for contravening the broadcasting code.
