a statement issued in Abuja.

The statement reads, “The death of the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, this (Sunday) morning came to us as a great shock.

“As someone who relentlessly participated in the activities of the Middle Belt Forum, his untimely death has dealt a deadly blow on ethnic nationalities of not only the Middle Belt but the country at large.

“Arising from various enquiries from Nigerians over the circumstances of his death, the Forum wishes to state as follows: That Dr. Mailafia arrived in Abuja last Sunday, September 12, 2021, from Akure and was received at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by his wife.

“On arrival at home, the wife noticed that he was not in the best of health conditions and seemed to be suffering from malaria. After three days of treatment without signs of improvement, he went to the CBN Hospital on Friday, September 17, 2021, where he was shabbily treated. It took the intervention of a senior medic who immediately placed him on oxygen and admitted him.


“Dr. Mailafia was later given the option of choosing three hospitals: Gwagwalada Hospital, National Hospital and EHA Clinics. The wife opted for the third choice. On arrival at the EHA Clinics, the wife was subjected to yet another moment of anxiety as it took a direct order from the top management of the hospital to accept him.

“After a few hours of treatment, the EHA Clinics told the wife that it was expedient to transfer the former CBN Deputy Governor to Gwagwalada, as the clinic was not fully equipped to handle the case.

“The wife opposed the decision and insisted that she was opposed to the idea of taking her husband to Gwagwalada. Mailafia’s wife only succumbed when the consultant assured her that nothing bad will happen to her husband.

“Yesterday, Saturday, September 18, 2021, Dr. Obadiah was transferred to Gwagwalada. On arrival, the doctor that was billed to attend to Dr. Mailafia was not on duty. Even when an attempt was made by foreign health consultants to save the situation, the doctor on duty got angry and said that he was not obligated to listen to any foreign consultants that had been brought into the matter with the sole purpose of ensuring that nothing goes wrong.

“Wife of the former CBN Deputy Governor was asked to pay the sum of N600,000 as a deposit, even when it was a referral case, with an accruing medical bill to be settled by the CBN. At a point, Dr. Mailafia complained over his breathing problems and pleaded with the doctors to place him on a ventilator. The doctors flatly refused.

“Even after the doctors declared Dr. Mailafia dead, foreign consultants who were brought into the matter through Dr. Mailafia’s son who lives abroad, had directed a family member who is a medical professional, with the wife of the CBN Deputy Governor, to mount pressure on the chest of Dr. Mailafia for resuscitation and thereafter place him on life support.

“The doctors in Gwagwalada refused all entreaties by the family members of Dr. Mailafia to follow the advice of the foreign consultants, insisting that they have already pronounced him dead. Even when the wife could feel the pulse of her husband, the doctor flatly declared that there was nothing they could do since they had already pronounced him dead.


“While the above narration sums up the circumstances under which Dr. Mailafia died, we still await the result of the actual cause of his death. As a nationalist and patriot that he was, Dr. Mailafia was completely dedicated to the emancipation of ethnic nationalities from the clutches of oppression.

“The economist was never afraid to speak truth to power, just as he remained committed to the enthronement of justice and equity to all citizens across ethnic and religious divides.

“In the twilight of his life, this consummate technocrat and global scholar of repute beamed his searchlight on the raging insecurity ravaging our country. He expressed regrets over the government’s incapacity to rein in the activities of insurgents and criminal groups terrorising the nation.

“The death of Dr. Mailafia today represents a dark day for not only the Middle Belt but also for all citizens who yearn for a new dawn for justice in Nigeria.”

Efforts to reach officials of the hospital proved abortive as of the time of filing this report.

I'm sure they don't need a soothsayer to tell them what happened there. A failed country such as this is a death trap. Only a referendum can save the indigenous tribes forcefully trapped here.

The truth will surface soon,hope it's not what we are thinking?

well, anyway, rest in peace.

Na wa oooooo.

In other words, In Summary "The man was Executed by people at the top"

Arrangee death like MKO Abiola. They know there will be war if Fulani herdsmen killed him

Evil Nation! Evil people! Agbero physicians

You were treating him at home for 3 days.

Likely died of Covid-19.

Punch ?

Righteousness2:
The Handwriting on the wall is so Clear.

Man of God! This is just a one sided story. It is advised that, the family conduct an independent autopsy to determine the exact cause of his death.
May God rest the soul of the departed and grant strength to the family

This man's blood is on Buhari, El Rufai, Osinbajo, Malami, Adamu Garba, IGP, COAS, Bichi & co's hands

I need to know if he took the vax or not before I comment

Very unfortunate death and painful.
But Nigerian top shorts must stop this habit of calling their foreign doctor friends to start issuing what the Nigerian now believe to be superior instructions that should be obeyed by their Nigerian counterparts.
When these same people go abroad,can they dare tell a foreign doctor that another doctor,in another country,even a western country,not even Nigerian,wants to speak with them on what should be done?
Unfortunate that we also don't do routine autopsies in Nigeria.It would have been helping us a lot because many of these "sudden deaths" involve people that had been having serious underlying health issues they themselves ignored or were always attributing to malaria/typhoid and each time they go to the hospital,instruct the doctor to treat them for same.

He prolly died from covid complications, maybe he wasn't vaxxed! Cos Ndi Kato in one of her tweets tweeted for people to go get vaxxed.

May his soul rest in peace!

Appears to be Covid related. Sad.

Anyone taking a patient to a hospital in Nigeria in an emergency should be ready to take hell along with him or her. If not, these medics will just allow your loved one die for nothing.

The situation in Nigeria today has so badly affected our humanity that an average Nigerian can watch a fellow human being die and do nothing about it even when he/she can help.

You are hearing this because it is Mailafia. There are many who die daily in similar circumstances.

Doctor wen dey think of how him go take japa go canada, america or saudi, na im you dey depend to care for your person. Na dai you dey.

RIP Dr Malafia

Please get vacinated, and observe covid 19 procedures, best hands in the Nigerian Medical sector have left the country, some of the remaining health workers are as cold hearted as an assassin..... He was allowed to die because of ordinary 650,000 deposit

That malaria or common cold might be something else especially when you lost sense of taste or smell briefly

Quickly get it tested properly, and don't make assumptions

A damaged lungs would simply suddenly without notice start giving you pneumonia or asthmatic symptoms even several months after you treated that old malaria and you felt safe several months ago

Once your lungs are bad poverty would kill you ... Cheapest daily expenses on Oxygen and ventilator daily is N50,000 , that's without cost of bedspace daily N10,000 , RV drips, Antivirus medication, Chest X-ray, Chest CT Scan , multi vitamins, anti inflammatory steroids

Commentor:
You were treating him at home for 3 days.

Likely died of Covid-19.

First sensible comment on the thread.
Transferred from CBN hospital to EHA clinics to UATH already suggests it was a very critical case.
Being put on oxygen and history of being treated for malaria for 1 week without responding already suggests COVID.
Patient relatives will always want you to continue resuscitation even when the dead patient is already cold and stiff.

Because they are the doctors. Ignorance. Nnamdi Kalu too.
