He reportedly died at the  National Hospital, Abuja.

Dr Mailafia, the Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, during the 2019 General Elections talked himself into  national consciousness and running battle with Security Agents when, in a television interview, he accused an unnamed Northern Governor and some Politicians from the North of sponsoring Boko Haram.

He claimed to have been told by repentant insurgents, but taken to  task, he buckled and said he  heard from traders in a market. The controversy cost him his job at NIPSS, Kuru. From then on, he never relented in bemoaning  the state of insecurity in the country.
