DSS Reportedly Arrests Bello Bodejo For Creating A Vigilante Group In Nasarawa State

According to reports, DSS agents detained Bello Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, for organizing a vigilante group in Nasarawa State.

Bello Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, is reportedly under arrest by the Department of State Services (DSS) for organizing the Nomad's Vigilante Group, a vigilante organization, in Nasarawa State.

The Miyetti Allah headquarters are at Tundun Maliya Cattle Market, Kilometre 22, Abuja-Keffi Expressway, Tundun-Wada, Karu local government area of Nasarawa State. Bodejo was reportedly arrested on Tuesday, January 23.

The report states that witnesses testified that on Tuesday at approximately 3:40 p.m., DSS agents and a few Nigerian Army soldiers stormed the Miyetti Allah headquarters near Goshen Church. After detaining Bode Jo at the gate, they drove off.

Bodejo was allegedly detained due to concerns that the formation of the Nomad's Vigilante Group may eventually lead to violence throughout the nation.

The report also stated that prior to forming a security group, it was discovered that the group had not registered with the security agencies as required by law.

Remember how Bode Jo had emphasized that the volunteer vigilantes would strictly abide by the laws currently in effect in the nation during their operations after the vigilante group was formed?

Speaking at the group's inauguration in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Bodejo urged the volunteer vigilantes to cooperate with the Army, Police, and other security agencies to guarantee a more all-encompassing approach to security throughout the state's 13 local government areas.
