BREAKING: Fulani Community begs Tinubu, seeks justice for incarcerated Miyetti Allah leader

The Fulani Community in Nigeria has appealed to the President, Bola Tinubu to intervene in the continued detention of the President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Abdullahi Bodejo Bello, who has been in detention since December 9, 2024, over an allegation of banditry and illegal arms possession in Nasarawa State.

Badejo had been in detention since December, despite the ruling of the High Court, FCT, to release the defendant. His continued detention has disturbed the Fulani Community and expressed deep concern over their leader.

The National Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani Socio-cultural Association, Mohammed Tasiu Suleiman, said that their leader who was arrested by men of the Nigerian Army and later transferred to the custody of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and then the State Security Service (SSS) has not been freed as ordered by the court.

The Association, who pleaded with the President to intervene, stated that despite repeated arrests in the past, no charges have been proven against him. The group believed that Badejo was innocent and illegally arrested.

Suleiman highlighted the health concerns of Bodejo, saying that he requires urgent medical attention for an illness he has been suffering from.

The community urged President Tinubu to use his good office to order his immediate and unconditional release.
