Amidst ongoing efforts by President Muhammadu Buhari and members of the nation’s Security Council to find a solution to the worsening security challenge plaguing the country, Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the last election, Dr Obadiah Mailafia on Tuesday alleged that a serving northern governor is one of the leaders of the Boko Haram insurgents.
Though, he did not mention the name of the governor, Mailafia who appeared on ‘Morning Crossfire’ programme on Nigeria Info Abuja 95.1FM revealed that the information was revealed by those he described as ‘repentant terrorists’.
The former CBN deputy governor said he had a chat with two repentant terrorists who identified the northern governor, explaining that the terrorists and bandits were one and the same.
According to him, the terrorists moved weapons even during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19.
“Some of us also have our intelligence networks. I have met with some of the bandits; we have met with some of their high commanders – one or two who have repented – they have sat down with us not once, not twice.
“They told us that one of the northern governors is the commander of Boko Haram in Nigeria. Boko Haram and the bandits are one and the same. They have a sophisticated network. During this lockdown their planes were moving up and down as if there was no lockdown.
“They were moving ammunition, moving money, and distributing them across different parts of the country.”
Mailafia said Boko Haram had already infiltrated southern Nigeria, adding that their plan was to spark a second civil war.
The former CBN deputy governor said he was not one to make spurious and unfounded allegations.
“They are already in the South, in the rain forests of the South. They are everywhere. They told us that when they finish these rural killings, they will move to phase two. Phase two is that they will go into urban cities, going from house to house killing prominent people.
“By 2022, they want to start a civil war in Nigeria. Don’t joke with what I am saying I have a PhD from Oxford University. I am a central banker, we don’t talk nonsense. I have this from the highest authority, some of the commanders of Boko Haram.”
