Details on the demise of Mailafia, however, remain sketchy as of the time of filing this report.
Mailafia, who was the Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the 2019 election, was a known government critic and had advocated for public sector and exchange rate reforms.
He was born on December 24, 1956, in the Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Mailafia joined partisan politics in 2018 amid the rising killings in Southern Kaduna.
Despite losing, he remained an ardent government critic and got into trouble with the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari when he alleged that a northern governor was a Boko Haram commander.
This earned multiple invitations by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), DSS, forcing the former CBN Deputy Governor to recant his statement.
