A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Dr. Obadiah Mailafia, did not honour the fresh invitation extended to him by the Police through the office of the Deputy Inspector-General, Criminal Investigation Department.
Mailafiya, who was expected to appear for Criminal investigation, gave reasons for not honouring the latest invitation.
Speaking to journalists in Jos, on behalf of the legal defence team, Yakubu Bawa said, the invitation which came as a photocopy is being challenged in the court.
According to Bawa, such invitation is strange and alien to Nigeria’s extant laws and procedures.
The renowned Economist has been on the searchlight of the security agencies for the past three weeks, following an interview he granted on a radio station, where he alleged among other things, that a current Northern Governor was backing Boko Haram insurgents.
