Not too long ago, he made the fantastic claim that a serving governor of a North Western state was the chief sponsor of Boko Haram.
When DSS agents hauled him in and demanded for proof, Dr. Obadia Mailafia said he heard it from Fulani market women when he went to buy acha.
Today he spins another yarn. He said the bandits currently bedeviling much of Nigeria were brought in from neighbouring countries to help APC oust President Jonathan’s government in 2015. APC did not reward them, which is why they stayed behind to wreak havoc, Mailafia now says.
If he is hauled in again to prove this allegation, he will probably say he heard it at the abattoir.
