Supporters of the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, stormed the Jos Office of the Department of State Services in solidarity and support as he was invited again for the third time in the last month for questioning over his Boko Haram statement. 
In an interview granted by Obadiah Mailafia to a radio station in July, he alleged that some unnamed northern governor as being the leaders of the Boko Haram terrorist sect.
After another 3-hours of grilling and questioning, he emerged and addressed his followers saying he hopes this will be the last time he would be invited for questioning by the agency.
Mailafia arrived at the DSS office around 11 am in company with his wife, Margaret, and his lawyer, Yakubu Bawa, among others, including several clergymen.
He was not released until around 2.55 pm. Addressing his supporters after his release, Mailafia condemned his latest invitation by the DSS saying it was uncalled for. He insisted that the killings in Southern Kaduna and other parts of the country must stop.
Mailafia said, “Thank you all for being here. Many have said worse things and nobody invited them. I hope this will be the last time I will be invited to the DSS office. All I am saying is that the killings must stop.”
His lawyer and the Jos branch Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr Yakubu Bawa, who also condemned the action of the DSS, however, said his client was not manhandled during his three hours of interrogation.”
