The Department of State Security Services (DSS) has once again invited the former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Obadiah Mailafia, to its office in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

Mailafia has previously been interrogated by officials of the security agencies in connection with comments he reportedly made during a radio interview about the leadership of Boko Haram.

His lawyer, Yakubu Bawa, confirmed to journalists on Friday that this is the third time Mailafia would be appearing at the DSS office in Jos.

Mailafia got into trouble with security agencies for his interview on Nigeria Info 99.3FM where he claimed that a repentant terrorist told him that a serving northern governor was the commander of Boko Haram.

He also claimed weapons were distributed to several parts of the country and that terrorists had infiltrated Lagos.
