Mailafa had alleged that one of the Northern Governors is the Commander of Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Speaking to newsmen shortly after his release, Mailafia said he was treated with respect and decorum during his interrogation by the security operatives.

According to him, all the killings in Southern Kaduna and other states in the country must stop.
