Mailafia who spoke to journalists Tuesday, said, “I have resigned from NIPSS.
“Nobody asked me or pressurized me to resign. I did it on my own.
“I decided that I cannot continue working, with all my good conscience, when my people are continually being killed and genocide is being committed against my people.
“That was the reason I gave, and the management has accepted my resignation.”
He maintained that his resignation is for the best interest of everybody.
