A rights group, Concerned Nigerians, on, Sunday, demanded an investigation of activist and former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, over circumstances surrounding his death in the early hours of Sunday, in Abuja.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Convener, Comrade Deji Adeyanju, where it alleged that Nigerians who work to expose the massive human rights violations and corruption by the Buhari-led administration are always targets.
The statement reads in part, “We call on the Nigerian authorities to ensure that no foul play was involved in the death of Dr. Obadiah Mailafia.
“He had been violently targeted by some persons averse to his positions on how ethnic minorities in Northern Nigeria are being treated.
“The Nigerian Civic space is very hostile and dissidents are constantly being targeted by those in government.
“Finally, we call on the authorities to launch an inquest into the death of Dr. Obadiah and we pray almighty God to grant late Human rights activist, eternal repose.”
