Obadiah Mailafia, former deputy governor of Nigeria’s central bank, has died, family sources told Peoples Gazette.
The 64 year old Nigerian economist died on Sunday morning at the National Hospital, Abuja. He was certified dead by a medical doctor at the nation’s foremost public health facility.
Mr Mailafia hailed from Randa, in the Christian-dominated Southern Kaduna, and taught economics at different institutions.
Late Obadiah Mailafia spent the latter part of his years advocating for a solution to the incessant killings in Southern Kaduna, which had been linked to armed herdsmen of Fulani origin.
He became a frontline critic of President Muhammadu Buhari and security agencies as part of his advocacy and was recently invited by the State Security Service to explain some of his on-air comments about deliberate violence across the country.
