The Northern Governors Forum (NGF) have called on security agencies to investigate allegations made by a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr Obadiah Mailafiya that one of them is a Commander of the Boko Haram sect.
Chairman of the NGF and governor of Plateau State, Simon Bako Lalong made this known in a statement made available to TheNewsGuru.com, TNG on Thursday.
TNG reports that Mailafiya in a live streamed interview with a radio station on Monday alleged two repentant terrorists identified a serving northern governor as a Boko Haram leader, an allegation the NGF finds implicative and deserves investigation.
“….We as Northern Governors have met severally to discuss insecurity in the Northern Region and the nation at large where we did not only condemn the activities of terrorist groups such as Boko Haram, bandits, armed robbers, kidnappers and other criminals, but also engaged the President and all heads of security agencies in finding solutions to the problem…..”
“To now say that one of our members is leading Boko Haram in Nigeria is a serious allegation that cannot be swept under the carpet. We demand immediate and thorough investigation”. Lalong said.
