Fulani youths in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State have expressed their dissatisfaction with the continued detention of Alhaji Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, by authorities. Bodejo’s detention is reportedly connected to his involvement in establishing the Nomad Vigilante Group, a quasi-security outfit.
During a meeting chaired by Shuaibu Abubakar in Uke, the youths voiced a sense of betrayal, highlighting Bodejo’s contributions to the electoral success of President Bola Tinubu and other candidates in the 2023 general elections.
Calling on President Tinubu to intervene and secure Bodejo’s release, the youths emphasized 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 endorsing the establishment of the Nomad Vigilante Group to bolster 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.
Abubakar, the meeting’s convener, highlighted the peaceful nature of the Fulani people, suggesting that their restraint prevented potential protests across major cities in the country.
“We appeal to the government at all levels to support the initiative to guarantee the security of lives and property in the country. Without the peaceful disposition of the Fulani people, major cities across the country might have witnessed protests,” 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.
