All I am asking is stop the kiIIings please,” A country that hates truth is not a normal country, says Mailafia

by

Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Dr. Obadiah Mailafia, has said if everyone keeps quiet about the current poor security situation in the country, especially the kiIIings in Southern Kaduna, the country will die.
In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, Mailafia noted that he was not a radical, but a seeker of peace, and that peace is impossible without justice.
“The fact that I am outraged by all the kiIIings and gen*cide doesn’t make me a radical. If we all keep quiet, Nigeria will die. Is that what we want?
“Radicals are people who carry guns and go into the forest and start kiIIing people. I have never used violence in my life, never encouraged anyone to use violence in my life. Even my name, Mailafia, means a man of peace and there can never be peace without justice.
“These kiIIings going on constitute an existential threat. I don’t know why for the life of me, that people tolerate the kiIIings and think it is okay.
“And that when we speak and tell people about the reality of what we are facing now, they are more concerned about the sources, more concerned about political correctness; they have absolutely no concern about the holy martyrs that are being slaughtered.
“Why can’t we face the reality of the people being kiIIed — the children, elderly, women, the youth being kiIIed on a daily basis? That is my focus. Any other thing, to me, is diversionary. People have questioned my sources. They have questioned my political correctness.
“Where is the outrage? Why do people accept this profound evil, this curse on this land? I reject it with the very fibre of my soul. So, I will never tone down, I will only tone down when the kiIIings stop.
“No religion, no culture and civilisation tolerate the kiIIing of innocent people. To say that the kiIIing is abhorrent, the gen*cide is abhorrent, is a very simple maxim of universal morality.
“All I am asking is stop the kiIIings please,” Dr. Mailafia pleaded.
