DSS arrests Miyetti Allah’s president for creating vigilante group
The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested the President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Bodejo, over the recent creation of a vigilante group in Nasarawa State.
Bodejo was arrested on Tuesday at the Miyetti Allah’s Head Office in Nasarawa State.
A joint team of DSS operatives and some soldiers of the Nigerian Army, were said to have stormed Miyetti Allah’s Head Office at about 3:40 pm on Tuesday.
A DSS source who confirmed the arrest noted that Bodejo was arrested over fears that the creation of the Nomad’s Vigilante Group could cause violence across the country.
The source noted that the group was not registered with the DSS, the police, or any other security agency.
“Our (DSS) operatives and soldiers of the Nigerian Army stormed the Miyetti Allah’s Head Office in Nasarawa this afternoon, and we’ve arrested their National President, Bello Bodejo, for creating a vigilante group that is not recognised by the government,” the source told Punch.
“The creation of that nomad’s vigilante group could cause violence in the country. The group was not registered with the DSS, the police, or any other security agency, and the group is not recognised by the Federal Government.”
