Fulani youth in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State are expressing dissatisfaction with the prolonged detainment of Alhaji Abdullahi Bello Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, by authorities. Bodejo’s detention is reportedly linked to his involvement in establishing the Nomad Vigilante Group, a quasi security outfit.
In a meeting chaired by Shuaibu Abubakar in Uke, the youth voiced 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 are urging President Tinubu to intervene and secure Bodejo’s release, emphasizing 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”.
Additionally, the Fulani youths support the formation of the Nomad Vigilante Group as a means to enhance the country’s security framework and promote lasting prosperity. They are urging all levels of government to embrace the initiative to safeguard lives and property.
Shuaibu 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. He added, “We therefore appeal to the government at all levels to support the initiative to guarantee the security of lives and property. If not for the peaceful disposition of the Fulani people, major cities across the country would have been filled with protesters”.
The Nomad Vigilante Group was inaugurated on January 17 in Lafia, the capital of Nasarawa State, with representatives from security agencies and key stakeholders present.
