Miyetti Allah’s president not in our custody — DSS
The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied reports that Bello Bodejo, president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, is in its custody.
Spokesman of the DSS, Peter Afunanya, made the clarification to newsmen on Tuesday evening.
“He’s not with the DSS,” Afunanya said.
Earlier on Tuesday, reports went rife that Bodejo was arrested by the DSS at the Miyetti Allah’s office in Karu LGA of Nasarawa state, on account of the unveiling of a vigilante group.
The Fulani socio-cultural organisation had last week unveiled a vigilante group in Nasarawa.
He said the vigilante group is made up of 1,144 Fulani youths selected from various communities in the 13 LGAs of the state.
Speaking, Bodejo had said the “Nomad vigilante group” would assist security agencies in combatting criminal activities in the north-central state.
