Fulani youths in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State have voiced their discontent over the continued detention of Alhaji Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, by authorities.
The detention is reportedly linked to Bodejo’s involvement in the establishment of the Nomad Vigilante Group, a quasi security outfit.
During a meeting held in Uke and chaired by Shuaibu Abubakar, the youths expressed a sense of betrayal, citing Bodejo’s contributions to the electoral success of President Bola Tinubu and other candidates in the 2023 general elections.
They called on President Tinubu to intervene and secure Bodejo’s release, stating his positive intentions for Nigeria.
Abubakar stated, “ We appeal to President Tinubu to intervene on the matter and ensure the release of Bodejo from detention.
“Our Leader means well and has good intentions for Nigeria”.
While supporting the creation of the Nomad Vigilante Group as a move to enhance the country’s security framework and promote lasting prosperity, the Fulani youths urged all levels of government to embrace the initiative to safeguard lives and property.
Shuaibu Abubakar, the meeting’s convener, stated the peaceful nature of the Fulani people, suggesting that without their restraint, protests might have erupted across major cities in the country.
“We therefore appealed to the government at all levels to key into the initiative in order to guarantee the security of lives and property in the country.
“if not for the peaceful disposition of the Fulani people, major cities across the country would have been filled up with protesters”. Abubakar added.
The Nomad Vigilante Group was inaugurated on January 17 in Lafia, Nasarawa State’s capital, with representatives from security agencies and key stakeholders present during the inauguration.
