Former CBN Deputy Governor, Dr Obadiah Mailafia has died after a protracted illness.

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore confirmed his death to Daily Blast with a short tribute:

“Dr. Malafia Obadiah is Dead. He was a powerful voice for social justice, although he was said to have died after a “protracted illness” it is however on record that he was hounded till the very end by the lawless DSS agents of the unconscionable and tyrannical regime of Muhammadu Buhari Rest In Power, Doc!”

His burial arrangements will soon be communicated by the family.
