The 64-year-old died at the National Hospital Abuja this morning, September 19. He was 64 years old.
Mailafia hailed from Randa in the Christian-dominated area of Southern Kaduna in Kaduna state.
He spent the latter part of his years advocating for a solution to the protracted killings in Southern Kaduna, which had been linked to armed herdsmen of Fulani origin.
May his soul rest in peace, Amen.
