The President of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, has reportedly been arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS). Bodejo was allegedly apprehended around 3 pm on Tuesday at the Miyetti Allah’s Head Office, located at Tundun Maliya Cattle Market, Kilometre 22, Abuja-Keffi Expressway, Tundun-Wada, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
The arrest is said to have occurred during a joint operation involving DSS operatives and soldiers of the Nigerian Army.
The reason for Bodejo’s arrest is believed to be connected to the recent establishment of a vigilante group in Nasarawa State. Reports indicate that the security operatives left the scene after Bodejo’s arrest.
According to a source cited by Punch, concerns about potential violence across the country prompted the arrest, as the vigilante group was not registered with the DSS, police, or any other security agency, rendering it unrecognized by the Federal Government. The source emphasized the need to address the unregistered nature of the nomad’s vigilante group, citing the potential for unrest in the country.
