DSS Arrests Miyetti Allah’s President For Setting Up Vigilante Group

The Department of State Services (DSS) has reportedly arrested Bello Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, over the establishment of a vigilante group, Nomad’s Vigilante Group.

VerseNews reports that Bodejo was arrested 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.

Witnesses say DSS operatives, accompanied by Nigerian Army soldiers, arrested Bodejo at the Miyetti Allah’s head office in Nasarawa State.

The arrest is linked to concerns that the vigilante group’s creation could lead to violence, and it’s noted that the group was not registered with security agencies as required by law.

Recall that following the creation of the vigilante group, Bodejo had emphasised that the volunteer vigilantes would strictly adhere to the country’s existing laws during their operations.

Bodejo, while speaking during the inauguration of the group in Lafia, Nasarawa State, urged the volunteer vigilantes to work in collaboration with the Police, Army, and other security agencies to ensure a more co.

 The DSS spokesperson, Dr Peter Afunanya, is yet to confirm the development.
